Pomegranate (Punica granatum)

The Pomegranate tree grows to approximately 5 – 7 m (16 – 23 ft) and produces best results when planted in dry hot climates. When ripe, the fruit is large and round with six sections containing many juicy pulp covered seeds. The fruit can be eaten raw, made into juice, used in food, or even used as a garnish.

Pomegranate is high in Fibre, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Potassium. It also has anti-inflammatory properties.
