    Pomegranates are a fruit containing 'arils' (small edible seeds) that have recently been linked to a large variety of health benefits; a good source of Punicalagins and Punicic acid, pomegranates are probably a better fruit option than other fruits on a calorie per calorie basis.

    Summary

    Pomegranates are red-skinned fruits that contain a large amount of small seed-like casings called 'Arils'.

    It can be easier to separate the Arils from the rind by freezing the pomegranate, or preparing the pomegranate in a large bowl of water (where the rind floats and the arils sink)
