POMEGRANATE JUICE SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR YOU!

Pommegranite.

Australian geological term for igneous rocks of Dartmoor and Exmoor?

Its a fruit,Have I dispelled it

PROMEGRANATE?

that was a joke. Thought you might be English or Aussie.

Yes its good for you. We drink it...actually like the taste not too sweet.

Lately we have been getting pomegranate soda from one of the local supermarkets. Good stuff . . .

I love the stuff. As it's rather pricey, I don't buy as much as I would like, however.

DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD GET IT IN SODA FORM?

Oh yeah, it's the President's Choice brand available at all Loblaw's supermarkets in Canada.

You can even get diet Pomegranate soda . . .

I'm not positive about this but i think it's called Grenadine here in the US of A.

squinney and I tired some Armenian Pomegranate Wine at a tasting the other night. chilled, it was actually quite good. A summer wine i think, or a dessert wine. It was pretty sweet. actually quenching. I liked it.

Well, sort of Dys . . . grenadine is made from corn syrup, red currant juice and pomegranate juice. The French word for pomegranate is grenade--hence the word grenadine.

Ok good to know some facts, I only know that the Lady Diane keeps a small bottle of pomegranate/grenadine juice in the fridge that she uses mixed with other juices for her "elixer". She is an odd duck, as it were. (I'm perfectly normal)

Apart from being a duck lover . . .

Well, yeah that too.

I thought I might google and post a link to one of the many recent articles on the benefits of pomegranate juice re prostate cancer, but I was diverted by this instead:

Pomegranate Margarita
From Mixdrink.com
Jul. 5, 2006 12:00 AM

1 3/4 cups chilled pomegranate juice
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups silver tequila
1 cup triple sec
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
Ice cubes
8 lime wedges

Pour 1/4 cup pomegranate juice in a saucer and dip rims of glasses. Then dip the moistened glass rims in kosher salt. Stir the remaining pomegranate juice, tequila, triple sec and lime juice.

Working in batches, shake the mixture in a large ice-filled shaker, then strain into the glasses. Garnish each margarita with a lime wedge.

Makes 8 servings.


Might even be good without the tequila..

CORN SYRUP,WHAT THAT?

I love Pomegranate juice. I even found chocolate covered Pomegranate ice cream bars at the market. Love them too!

I'd be interested to know how much "real" pommegranite flavouring is in the soa and bars and how much is artificial flavouring.

I find pommy granite a little hard to digest and gritty as well

I heard its good for Loose Motions.

But excessive intake may cause constipation.
