Peal a Pomegranate
You’ve probably heard pomegranate juice may boost heart health by discouraging the build-up of plaque in arteries and may help lower the risk of prostate and breast cancer. What’s behind those potential benefits? A host of 122 beneficial compounds in the red juice that surrounds each little pomegranate seed.

Easy eating: Wondering how to “break in” to that beautiful pomegranate you just purchased, without making a mess? Cut off the top, cut the fruit into sections, and place in a bowl of cool water. Use your fingers to gently pull out the juice-filled seed sacs, then strain. Use in fruit salads or eat ‘em plain!

Nutrition trick: Eating pomegranate as a fruit, rather than juice, means you get the heart-healthy omega-5 fatty acids found in the seeds.
