As far as fruits go, pomegranates seem like more trouble than they’re
worth. They have spiny skin, and if not sliced into just so, they make a
mess and leave some of the seeds inside, which is the actual fruit
part, cut and bruised; the surrounding white membrane is too bitter to
eat. Pomegranate juice, too, easily stains hands and fingers. They’re a
kind of berry, so it would be easier to spring for some strawberries instead.The thing is pomegranates are healthy in their own right. Sure, like strawberries, they’re a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants, not to mention fiber and anti-inflammatory properties — but more than that, studies show eating the fruit and/or drinking pomegranate juice can help protect against disease, like certain cancers and Alzheimer’s.
