The Power of Pomegranate
The nutrient-rich, ruby-red pomegranate is a perfect addition to any February feast. With sweet juice and jewel-like seeds, this fruit can be enjoyed in salads, sipped in spritzers, or even turned into a tantalizing glaze for your main course. Pomegranates also pack a nutritional punch with vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties to safeguard your health. This helps pomegranates supply healing benefits in relation to cancer, blood circulation, and overall health.
If you’d like to tempt your sweetheart with a sweet 
but tart side-course while also boosting his or her heart health, consider making Glazed Carrots for Valentine’s dinner. Simply sauté carrots in a light drizzle of oil for five minutes, then add cinnamon and a coating of fresh pomegranate juice. You can also add a bit of honey if you want it sweeter. Simmer and stir until liquid is glazed and carrots are tender (approx. 20 minutes). No matter how you slice it, you will fall in love with this heart-healthy fruit.
