The centrifugato of January – Italian Cuisine – Italian Cuisine

The centrifuged in January it can only be based on pomegranate, the fruit symbol of fertility, which brings good luck!

Properties of the pomegranate

Pomegranate is a fruit rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and is an ally of beauty and heart.
Antioxidants in fact counteract the action of free radicals that are responsible for damage to DNA and cells. The polyphenols contained in the pomegranate are also capable of inhibiting the oxidation of bad cholesterol.
Vitamin C, on the other hand, promotes the formation of collagen, an essential substance for maintaining elastic skin and fighting wrinkles.
The pomegranate, therefore, is an ally of the line, of the heart and of the beauty and thanks to its detox effect is the ideal ingredient for the centrifuged of January because after the holidays it is necessary to purify a little.

Color makes the difference

A good pomegranate is recognized by the color that must be bright and by the weight that indicates the quantity of juice contained in the fruit.
When they are unripe, the pomegranates are perfectly round and as they mature, the seeds loaded with juice begin to expand by pressing against the walls of the fruit. A ripe pomegranate does not therefore have a regular shape.
It is important to always check that the surface of the fruit is smooth and intact and does not show dents.

How to clean a pomegranate

It seems very difficult, but it is not.
We advise you only to wear a kitchen apron because the beans splash the juice that does not go very easily on the fabrics.
Then cut the pomegranate into four segments and hit each one's back with a spoon so that all the beans are easily removed.
Alternatively, remove the outer bowl and all the white parts with the hands and make the grains. Do it inside a basin full of water and lemon and it will be much simpler.

Recipe of pomegranate, fennel and apple centrifugate

First remove all the white parts of the pomegranate that make the juice bitter. Clean a fennel and remove the apple from the core and then put everything in the centrifuge or extractor.
