delima ... pomegranates ... anar
benefits and image from here
The health benefits of this odd fruit have long been recognized in
Middle Eastern culture, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that Western
science acknowledged its value. Studies have shown it to hold a variety
of significant dietary values, including cardiovascular health, a
combatant of cancer and arthritis, an insulin stabilizer for those
suffering from diabetes, and has even shown promise as an inhibitor of
the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

alright ... we don't produce this but we can still get the juice ... various brands are in the market now ... mostly from Iran and Turkey
from where oghang besar is coming (not Iran nor Turkey :) ... anar is plentiful during end of fall ... and there are various varieties of anar just as there are varieties of rambutan and durian :)
