POMEGRANATE GRANITA: FILL UP ON NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS WITH THIS SUMMER NEWS!

Its shape, very similar to that of a red apple, and the infinite number of its grains with a sweet flavor and a sour aftertaste, were the inspiration for the summer’s novelty: our pomegranate granita preparation. This fantastic product of nature is also called “medicine fruit”, given the quantity of substances beneficial to our body with which it is full: vitamins, fibre, sugars, flavonoids, as well as many active ingredients. It is a very powerful antioxidant (one of the fruits with the highest concentration of antioxidants), has important anti-inflammatory properties and is a true protector of the heart and arteries. And, for the happiness of those who pay attention to their figure, it has a minimal caloric intake. Small curiosity about its historical roots: legend has it that the pomegranate was a precious wonder of Mother Nature, from which everything originated and in which everything will end. Numerous ancient cultures, Greek, Jewish, Christian and Babylonian, attracted by the very particular translucent, brilliant and scarlet color of its seeds, were strongly convinced that this fruit was a true miracle. Even Hippocrates studied its characteristics in depth, praising its medicinal virtues! So how can we resist a granita that refreshes us, quenches our thirst and at the same time takes care of our well-being?
