Pomegranate Juice By themselves, pomegranates are sweet and round tart fruits. Cutting across their tough red skin reveals the juicy ruby-colored seeds packed inside. The skin is not edible, but its hundreds of seeds can be enjoyed as snacks or sprinkled on salads, oatmeal, hummus, and other dishes. Don’t overlook the juice though! Pour the contents across a strainer, and you get another delicious way to enjoy the nutritious fruit. Pomegranate juice contains more than 100 phytochemicals-compounds produced by plants that provide many health benefits as well.
