Deciduous shrub or tree with spine-tipped branches, whorls of lance-shaped

pulp-covered seeds. Height: Up to 20 feet.
Common Uses: Pomegranate is one of the richest sources of
antioxidants, even more so than green tea or red wine. Because of this, they
reduce the risk of heart disease, inhibiting the onset of atherosclerosis, reducing
plaque on artery walls, and easing high blood pressure. These antioxidants may
also reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which may lessen the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
History: Its bright red color and seed arrangement made it
one of the earliest symbols of fertility. It was used to treat worms in ancient
Egypt. The roots and rind are used to make jet black dye in India.
