The pomegranate is, for all the good press it's received lately, still amazingly unknown and obscure. I think by now most people have at least heard of the pomegranate, although many still probably have no idea what one looks like. Well if you fall into that crowd you might want to make a change, because in addition to all the health benefits most fruits and veggies give, pomegranate juice has also been shown to have a positive impact on both prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease.

I've actually never had a pomegranate, so in the spirit of trying new things (and being healthy in the process) I found this group of pomegranate recipes -- I'll be trying the pomegranate yogurt dip first I think.
