Hey Loves!! Happy Sunday!! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I made these Pretty Pastel Waffles a few weeks ago. I made them with Gluten Free Flour and Pomegranate Stevia. These Waffles taste Pretty awesome.
I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of artificial sweeteners but this Pomegranate Stevia taste like pure Pomegranate juice and no artificial flavours.
Pomegrante are so beautiful, and among the worlds healthiest fruits. Pomegranate “Punica granatum” have a rich history of being grown for centuries in India, Mediterranean , Asia, and Parts of Africa. These ruby fruits are known today for the jewel like Arils (seeds) but in ancient time Pomegranates were widely known to represent fertility. Some of the known health benefits are Pomegranates nutritional profile include being rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and bioactive plant compounds called punicalagins and punicic acid. Punicalagins are extremely potent antioxidants found in pomegranate juice and peel. Punicic acid is found in pomegranate seed oil, this is the main fatty acid in the arils. Regular intake of pomegranate juice has been shown to lower blood pressure levels. Pomegranate have antibacterial and antiviral properties. Pomegranates are part of a healthy diet and may aid in weight loss efforts. With all these benefits I think it is worth the messy clean up. How do you enjoy Pomegranates?
