All the properties of the pomegranate
The pomegranate, or rather, the pomegranate, is a typical fruit of the autumn season very similar in appearance to an apple, with a hard shell on the outside and a heart made of small seeds ruby red color.
It is the fruit symbolizing longevity and abundance, perhaps also for its countless properties.
Its seeds, in fact, are rich in substances from antioxidant properties. Furthermore, pomegranate juice is particularly recommended for her astringent properties which treat intestinal viruses and for vitamins who come to our aid in periods of particular exhaustion and lack of energy.
It is also a ally of the heartand because it reduces bad cholesterol levels in the blood e it's good for the mood because some substances contained in the juice stimulate the serotonin receptors.
How to open a pomegranate
The most boring part is this. Opening a pomegranate may actually seem very difficult, but it is not what it seems. There is a trick to do it in a few steps and without dirtying the entire kitchen.
Just cut the fruit in half and then hammer the back with a spoon protected by the hard skin to make sure that all the beans pop out. In this way the internal white part of the fruit, the one that contains the grains and which has a very bitter taste, will remain attached to the peel and the grains will come off much more easily.
The pomegranate juice
If you don't want to get your hands too dirty by cleaning the pomegranate, prepare an excellent one juice.
There are two ways to do this. The easiest and most practical is to cut the fruit in half and then squeeze it as you do with citrus fruits inside the special tool.
The second method involves one centrifuge. You can put all the seeds inside by carefully removing the white part and you will get a sweet pink juice with a sour aftertaste. The pomegranate has detox properties and therefore you can combine it with green apples, celery, lemon, grapefruit and spinach.
