A pomegranate is a ruby-red fruit with juicy seeds—called arils—that can be added to salads, cocktails, and meat- or rice-based entrees. This versatile fruit provides important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C and copper, along with a healthy dose of fiber.
While it can be labor-intensive to free the arils from the flesh of the pomegranate, it’s worth it for its bright flavor and antioxidants.
