  • Nutrition Tip

    Current research supports the old-saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Apples are a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber as well as a wide variety of antioxidants and phytonutrients like phenolics and flavonoids. Research shows that these nutrients act together to provide strong protection against different types of cancer. In the Nurses' Health Study of more than 77,000 women, daily apple consumption was linked to a 37 percent lower risk of lung cancer after controlling for risk factors like smoking.

    What more can you ask for? Add pomegranates, which not only adds beautiful ruby-red color to the dish, but also packs even more vitamin C, polyphenols, and flavonoids.
