Pomegranate Powder

Pomegranate Powder is made from the dehydrated seeds or juice of the pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum), then finely ground. It keeps much of the fruit’s natural antioxidants, vitamins, and tangy-sweet flavor, making it a convenient superfood for health and culinary use.

• Vitamins: Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and small amounts of B vitamins.
• Minerals: Potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron.
• Fiber: Supports gut health (if made from whole fruit powder).
• Natural sugars: Provide quick energy.
