Pomegranate Power Organic Freeze Dried Pomegranate Powder A Mediterranean Superfruit - Anthropological remains have suggested the Mediterranean cultivation of pomegranates dates back 1000 years ago, and many even extend this claim to prehistoric times. Regardless of the exact date, there is no doubt that pomegranate's use for medicine, flavor, and in mythology has been prolific and wide-spread. The juice of the pomegranate seed is a potent source of antioxidants, and has been scientifically linked to helping fight cancerous conditions and cardiovascular disease. Navitas Naturals Pom Power is the simple, easy-to-enjoy freeze-dried pomegranate juice that has been milled into a fine powder for maximum freshness and ease of use. Use a spoonful or two of this powder to add pomegranates' superfruity taste and antioxidant punch to smoothies, juice, tea, or other beverages.

Mediterranean Jewel
The fruit of the attractive pomegranate tree is one of the most distinctive in the world. With its crimson colored rind housing a complex interior of ruby-like juicy seeds and white pith (with approximately 800 edible seeds packed into one fruit!), fresh pomegranate is not a food to be consumed in a hurry. Native to southwestern Asia, the pomegranate is widely cultivated in warm, dry regions of the world - most historically the Mediterranean. Some date cultivation of this fruit back to prehistoric times, and it has been used throughout the ages medicinally, mytholigically, and as a valued culinary element. Most Western cultures today are familiar with this fruit in its raw state or as a juice - a deep red delicacy which tastes divine but also inevitably stains something. Navitas Naturals Pomegranate Power makes enjoying the lovely pomegranate easy by offering it in a freeze-dried, mess-free, powder form.
The Power of Pomegranate
Though most of the pomegranate's mythological roots (often seen as a symbol of fertility and prosperity) cannot be proven, recent attention from scientific communities solidifies the fruit's health benefits are far from myth. Pomegranate contains a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, with especially notable amounts of vitamin C and potassium. It is also a powerful source of antioxidant phytoestrogens, polyphenols, and anti-inflammatory essential amino acids. Among the most important effects of this beneficial nutrient collection is the ability to inhibit free radicals (a biological component attributed to disease and aging). Remarkably, polyphenols may inhibit estrogen synthesis, and the oil from the pomegranate seed has been proven effective against the proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro.
But there's more. Pomegranate's contribution to cardiovascular health has also been widely celebrated. In preliminary laboratory research and human pilot studies, juice of the pomegranate was shown effective in reducing heart disease risk factors: including LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation (important components of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease). Pomegranate juice has also been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure (inhibiting the serum angiotensin-converting enzyme), may inhibit viral infections, and can also have antibacterial effects against dental plaque.
