Pomegranate seeds dried
The pomegranate is a super food. Thanks to its ingredients such as polyphenols, vitamin C and iron, the pomegranate is bursting with health-promoting effects. As a free radical scavenger with antioxidant properties, it is said to help improve the appearance of the skin and prevent cardiovascular diseases. Its sugar molecules are also suitable for diabetics.
In addition, the pomegranate seeds captivate with their colour. Their bright red makes them an eye-catcher in every application.
Possible uses of the crunchy pomegranate seeds
- Muesli mixes
- Bars and other cereal snacks
- Confectionery (chocolate, bakery products, confectionery)
- Nut mixes
