Description

Pomegranate arils are the small, red, and juicy seeds found inside the pomegranate fruit. These arils stand out for their sweet and tangy, refreshing flavor and their crunchy texture, which adds both color and a special touch to various culinary recipes.

Origin: The pomegranate is native to the region comprising the Mediterranean area, the Middle East, and northern India. Today, it is cultivated in many parts of the world, especially in temperate and subtropical climates.

Properties: Pomegranate arils are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins (such as vitamin C and vitamin K), fiber, and minerals. Additionally, they provide anti-inflammatory benefits and help improve cardiovascular health. Their unique flavor and nutritional value make them an ideal ingredient for salads, desserts, sauces, and beverages.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different Latin American countries, pomegranate arils may be known simply as semillas de granada (pomegranate seeds) or granillo de granada. In some places, they are also referred to as pepitas de granada, although this term may vary by region.
