Fruit of the pomegranate tree, the beneficial effects of pomegranate have been known in the East for thousands of years. Today, there are countless publications on the antioxidant, antihypertensive and anti-cancer effects of its juice. But pomegranates have other properties too, which can be found in the unique composition of their oil.
