Pomegranates
Overview
Pomegranate is a colorful fruit that is gaining attention from food manufacturers. According to Productscan Online, 190 new pomegranate-flavored foods and beverages were introduced in the United States in 2005, up from 31 products in 2003. The rich color, sweet-sour flavor and high antioxidant content are reasons why manufacturers are adding pomegranate to such products as jelly, ice cream bars, truffles and chewing gum.
