I recently discovered pomegranate juice. I hadn’t tried it before because the POM bottles were so outrageously expensive in my local supermarket store – almost $9 for a small bottle. Thanks to my trusted COSTCO, now I can get delicious pomegranate juice at a more reasonable price.
I like pomegranate juice for several reasons…
- It’s deliciously sweet and tart at the same time. It reminds me a bit of cranberry juice.
- It’s has antioxidant properties.
- It’s great to drink by itself or to mix into fruit smoothies.
- It’s super refreshing in the summer heat.
But, just like yoga… this is something you need to experience. If you have not had pomegranate juice, I urge you to try it.
My next step… doing something with the actual fruit. They look so pretty and jewel-like…
I always wondered why pomegranate juice was so so expensive in America when I can go down to the Moroccan shop next door and buy a liter for like 2 euro. Glad costco finally figured out that POM didn’t have a lock on global supply.
For pomegranate recipes, i’d try something like Muhammara, pomegranate and walnut dip from Syria….
I haven’t seen this brand – I will have to keep an eye out for it. My favorite treat (because it is so expensive) is Pom pomegranate and mango juice. Yum!
