A hot new super food loaded with antioxidants and fiber.


Pomegranate

Beautiful pomegranates are available fresh in the fall and are popular as décor on holiday tables. About the size of an apple, the deep red fruit is filled with jewel-toned seeds held in place with a spongy membrane. Only the seeds -- sweet-tart and crunchy -- are edible. Squeeze for ruby red juice or eat the seeds plain, with fruits, on salads, or atop low-fat yogurt and desserts. One half cup has 80 calories.
