Pomegranate is often considered a heavenly fruit due to its rich colour arils and incredible health benefits. The edible red hued seeds (called arils) of this sweet fruit come enriched with antioxidants, fiber, minerals and Vitamin C and helps in cancer prevention, heart disease and arthritis.
All pomegranate fruits are sourced from the best agricultural farms so as to ensure using the freshest agricultural produce for our requirements. Further, pomegranate arils or kernels are extracted from sorted and washed pomegranate fruit.These arils are cleaned, dewatered and frozen using IQF, designed to halt microbial activities that can cause deterioration of food. The IQF arils are put through a sieve, inspected and packed. The packed cartons are passed through metal detectors and stored at -18°C.
