I haven’t done a Things I Love Thursday post in a while, so I figured now is a great time to participate! The great people from POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice contacted me and sent me a case of their wonderful pomegranate juice and I have been using it regularly over the past couple of weeks. I have always loved adding Pom juice to my water, but with the juice they also sent me many great facts about Pom juice. I also searched through their website and found many other great ways to use the wonderful and healthy juice. So I thought I’d share with you some things I learned.
I did know about this brand of Pom juice, and I have used it in the past. The Captain and I like to add a bunch to our water to add flavor, and a bit of health benefits. I never truly knew ALL the benefits until I got the information from POM Wonderful. As it turns out POM Wonderful has provided $32 million to fund world class scientific research on pomegranates resulting in over 45 published studies…that’s a lot of words to say that they have facts to back up their claims.
Pomegranate Juice Health Benefits
Research has shown the drinking 8 oz of Pom juice daily can benefit you cardiovascularly, help your prostate and with erectile function (dudes you should get on this). And the one that I already knew about is the antioxidant potency. It says it has more antioxidants than red wine…so maybe I just have to double up on my red wine intake to balance it out???
Another thing I just learned is that you can use the juice in a lot of recipes! I had no idea! So I decided to give it a try. My contact at Pom Wonderful recommended that I try the POM velvet cupcakes, and I should’ve taken her suggestion. I decided instead to try to make a chicken recipe. But I failed…I was so bummed! I can’t put my finger on what I did wrong but I definitely burned the pan sauce. So next time I will stick with baking. The recipesand the pictures on the website look too irresistable not to try! They have a recipe for Pom Tiramisu that I have my eye on.
I was happy to learn that there is more to the POM juice than meets the eye. It has a lot of health benefits, but it’s also very yummy…and as it turns out works great for cooking!

then you definitely should try the juice. It turns out there are tons of uses for it:) (I’ll have to try it on my salad!)
I enjoy pomegranate too. I think I’ve only had juice blends, so no straight pomegranate juice yet. It’s so pricey, but I would love to have it more:)

Yes it definitely is a little pricey…but it has so many benefits. Thats why I add it to water because a little goes a long way!
I’m glad you enjoyed and learned a bit more about us. Cooking/baking with the Juice is very popular, you can also look at our Community (on the website) where folks have posted what they’ve created and shared with everyone!
Thank you so much! I will definitely have to spend some more time on the community page!
Wow. I should try POM now!! Sounds yummy.

I’ve seen POM and have been tempted to try it, but I haven’t because of the price. I like your idea but diluting it with water to make it last longer.
Maybe I’ll pick some up next time I’m at the grocery store.
