The pomegranate is a fruit cultivated and consumed by man since ancient times and has always taken on a strong symbolic value. The term derives from Latin words malum (apple) and granum (wheat), containing more than 600 grains called arils, rich in active ingredients useful for the health of our body. This is why pomegranate has always been considered a symbol of fertility, abundance and longevity.

In the Jewish religion it is mentioned several times in the Bible as one of the seven fruits of the Promised Land. In ancient Greece it was the sacred plant of Venus and Juno, the protective goddess of fruitful marriages. At the time of the Roman Empire, brides intertwined pomegranate branches with their hair as a wish for fertility. Even today, many call pomegranate a lucky charm and giving it at Christmas is a good omen for the new year.

But why is pomegranate considered a fruit so special, a real lucky charm and even a fruit with magical powers, as the Greek and Roman civilizations believed? Simple, our ancestors had recognized its multiple properties and used it in decoctions or as a juice to cure some diseases. In fact, pomegranate is rich in vitamins A, B and C, minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc, but above all polyphenols and tannins, powerful natural antioxidants that help counteract the cellular aging process caused by free radicals and perform an important anti-inflammatory function of body tissues.
