The grenade is a Functional Food (AF) because it has been shown that, beyond its nutritional values, it has beneficial effects on the organism that help improve health and human well-being.
It is a source of fiber, rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium; it has few calories and stands out for its content in vitamins C, A, E, B6 and K. But if something highlights the grenade is because of its antioxidant capacity. This antioxidant power is due to polyphenols, natural compounds that have healthy effects on the body. Of all of them, punicalagine is the most outstanding and it is the intestinal microbiota of each person that is responsible for transforming that punicalagine into a type of compounds called urolitins that are those that actually present the positive effects on health, as Marina Cano points out, research staff of the Department of Agro-Food Technology of Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche.
In this way, these antioxidant compounds are attributed a preventive role by reducing risk patterns for certain diseases such as prostate and breast cancer, obesity, and even diabetes prevention or delay as it has been observed that blood glucose levels are significantly reduced. In addition, other goodties related to oral, antimicrobial health and skin aging have also been detected.
On the other hand, Marina Cano also notes that in the grain seed there is a high fiber content and poly-unsaturated fatty acids that play a very important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and other heart problems. The main polyunsaturated fatty acid of the pomegranate is punic acid.
