Pomegranate peel is rich in antioxidants, while its seeds contain a fatty acid that previous research has linked to fat-burning and anti-cancer properties. In a study at Erciyes University in Turkey, pomegranate peel and oil from the seeds were added to regular ice cream at very low levels - less than 1per cent of the total weight. This was enough to significantly improve the antioxidant content of the ice cream without affecting taste or texture, the researchers concluded. dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2708876/Fruit-makes-ice-cream-healthy-Pomegranate-makes-sweet-treat-rich-antioxidants.html Please do let us know if you have any questions or queries.
