A U.S. study found that 100 percent pomegranate juice and POMx liquid extract, or pomegranate polyphenol extract, have anti-viral and antibiotic effects. Great! The seedy fruit is high in potassium, anti-oxidants and contains about 100 calories per serving. Only the seeds are edible; a medium-sized pomegranate yields about a 1/2 cup of juice. The fruit is in season from September through January, but you can find pure pomegranate juice year-round.
