Why is pomegranate not featured on your website?

Pomegranates(Punica granatum) can definitely make an outstanding contribution to your nourishment. Some of the most recent research on pomegranates has focused on their unique combination of four nutrients-ellagic acid, caffeic acid, luteolin, and punicic acid-as its claim-to-fame in the cancer prevention (and especially prostate cancer prevention) area. There is no doubt that pomegranates contain some unique polyphenols that may be especially supportive in the area of cardiovascular health.
Pomegranates are not included in our list of World's Healthiest Foods primarily due to limited availability and accessibility. In many parts of the North America, pomegranates may only be available for a three-month period between September and November. In addition, they may be quite expensive. (It isn't unusual to pay US$3 for a single organic pomegranate). While we definitely encourage you to enjoy this fruit as an outstanding one in terms of health benefits, we did not find it sufficiently available and accessible to include on our original list of the World's Healthiest Foods.
