What goes with Pomegranate?
Pomegranate is a berry-like fruit composed of juice-filled arils surrounding edible seeds. It is rich in fructose, glucose, citric and malic acids, anthocyanins, ellagitannins (particularly punicalagins) and polyphenols. Its naturally high acidity and tannic structure distinguish it from most sweet fruits, making it highly versatile in both savoury and sweet applications.
