Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

Here’s how to make hazelnut milk without having to shell the nuts first:

1. Put the hazelnuts into a sturdy, high-sided vessel such as a cast iron pot, or a bucket. Pound them with a piece of wood or a large rock until they are thoroughly smashed.

2. Measure the crushed hazelnuts and put them into a pot, adding 3 parts water for every one part combined hazelnut shells and nutmeats.

3. Simmer for 20 – 30 minutes. Strain. Add fresh water to the already boiled hazelnuts, simmer and strain again for a second extraction.

Shout out to Sam Thayer who first showed me this technique a couple of years ago. He used hickory nuts, which also make a delicious “milk.”

A recently domesticated native North American fruit crop, the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, is a diploid member of the Vaccinium genus of the acid-loving Ericaceae. The morphology and chemistry of the fruit are unique in contrast to other fruits. Fruit have hollow locules, contain benzoic acid, and are high in polyphenolic antioxidants, including unique A-type proanthocyanidins, which are beneficial to human health. Moreover, instead of fruity volatiles found in other fruit species, the major volatile is 1-ɑ terpineol. Relative to other crop species cranberry has undergone relatively little genetic improvement. Major breeding objectives are fruit rot resistance, heat stress tolerance and enhancement of phytochemical constituents.
