100% pomegranate juice
Description
100% pomegranate juice has an intense, complex flavor that combines natural sweetness with a pleasant, slightly tart acidity; its hue is a deep ruby or dark red, and clarity depends on the juice's filtration. As a beverage, it offers fruity aromas with a subtle tartness that enlivens dishes and cocktails. Nutritional values include natural sugars, vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and a wealth of antioxidant polyphenols (including punicalagins), making juice consumption potentially supportive of cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory effects, and immune support. In the kitchen, pomegranate juice pairs well with cocktails, lemonades, dressings, marinades, and glazes for meats, as well as sauces for salads and desserts, and can also be added to smoothies and alcoholic beverages. It is best stored in a cool, dark place before opening; after opening, keep it in the refrigerator and consume within a few days, while longer storage can be achieved by freezing in portions.
