Title: pomegranate juice
Post by: ratsprayer on Mar 05, 2006, 11:17 PM
anyone have any love?  i tried it a few years ago, and i can't get enough.  it's like nectar for the gods.  i drink POM quite often, i think my favourite is pomegranate cherry, but they're all very good.  pomegranate juice has the highest levels of anti-oxidants of anything out there, more then blueberries, red wine, green tea, etc etc.  anyone else share the love?

I haven't tried the pomegranate juice, but have been looking at it for a while.  I have questions:

1.  Do they use organic pomegranates in POM?
2.  What ingredient number is sugar?
3.  Can you get other alternative versions at health food stores?

:)

i dunno about organic pomegranates, do those exist?  there are no added sugars, just what is naturally there.  each 16oz bottle has the juice of 5 pomegranates.  its a good source of potassium, gluten free, certified kosher.   i've only ever had POM, i'd suggest that one based solely on elitism.   ;)

i am sure that some farm in california only grows organic pomegranates.  ;)  those hippies in la are always trying to make a buck on the latest trends.  (so jokin')

i do love elitism.  perhaps i will give this a try.  ;)

I tried some pom/blueberry juice at costco the other day, it kicked ass.  the pom hits you first, then you have the aftertaste of blueberries.

I've never tried it...but I think I may have to.  I've heard it's super healthy and good for the digestive track.  Ah...what the hell.  I'm going to Earth Fare right now.  See yas!

pomegranates are eaten at jewish new year to signify fertility and success. they're delicious straight up, too. i love POM but it's a bit expensive for me right now.
i like cranberry juice. not the sugar-y one, the bitter, make-a-face one.

I had dinner at a Persian restaurant here in Louisville recently.  I had a chicken stew that was made with Pomegranate juice.  I had never tasted anything quite like it.
