Bobby Flay whipped up those 4-recipes using Pomegranate Arils, Pomegranate Molasses and Pomegranate Juice. We love the recipes and we love his style...Elegant Southwestern Cuisine.   We're happy every time that "Boy Meets Grill" and wonderful, delicous pomegranates are involved! Two-Thumbs up on these!

Full Recipes and pictures from that segment can be found on the CBS News/The Early Show  website: "Pomegranate Passion"

We averaged all 4 recipes for = 9 POM's on the Wonderful scale.

Cooking Tips for the Recent Grad -Part II

Cooking equipment can be a real issue in-a grad’s first place post college. Some will not allow a grill, while others have worn out stove tops and ovens that are not that accurate.

A nice rice cooker is a great buy and rice is a great, healthy substitution to some fried potato products (i.e. fries, chips). You can cook all different types of rice in a rice cooker (white, brown, short grain, long grain…) and it is an easy process to master; just follow the directions that are provided, use a little trial and error!

You can also impart many flavors into the rice by using various stocks and broths or savory waters, which you can find at almost any local market. Many rice cookers have a steamer attachment, which can be a quick and healthy way to add some vegetables into your diet. If you are feeling adventurous, you can even steam fish -I prefer salmon but almost anything will work -even shellfish. Now you've got "food for thought" Go plug-in those rice cookers!!

Back to the pomegranate

Pomegranates. Before the juice, before the liqueur, there was the fruit. And it was fabulous...said an article in the food section of The Los Angeles Times which is a must (NOT) read on a hungry-empty pomegranate lovers stomach. It will stir-up the taste buds!

The article mentions, even in a world where food trends cycle in and out faster than art-house films at a multiplex, the career trajectory of the pomegranate has been dazzling. Only three years ago it was a relatively esoteric fruit in this country. Then it became the juice equivalent of oat bran, then the flavor du jour of the beverage case.

The article ends on a bitter-sweet note,  with...
Since 2002 POM Wonderful, the Los Angeles-based company that turned an ornamental fruit into a household word, has reportedly invested 10 million [correction -25 million] and counting in studies it hopes demonstrate that the product is the secret to eternal health if not life...The kumquat should only be so lucky.

Pomegranate power for prostate?

Today in The Seattle Times Dr. Astrid Pujari addressed a readers question about the 2nd leading cause of death for men -effecting 1 in 6. Prostate Cancer.  She talks about the power of the Pomegranate and how it all relates.

The piece references the Phase I  Study conducted at UCLA, with POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice.  Dr. Pujari is not the only one writing about the power of the pomegranate for prostate health.

Since the results of the Phase I and II studies were so promising, many have turned their eyes to the power of the pomegranate for more then just their daily dose of anti-oxidant superpower.

In the Q&A style article, she also quotes some of the very-promising results of the above mentioned UCLA study:  "When these men drank 8 ounces of pomegranate juice per day, the rate at which their PSA number doubled increased from about 15 months to 54 months, meaning the cancer's growth had slowed.  The juice also prolonged the time that their disease was stable."

The article is available at The Seattle Times website, located here:  The Seattle Times -Pomegranate Power For Prostate

Dr. Pujari is a Seattle M.D. with an additional degree as a medical herbalist; she practices at the Pujari Center and teaches as part of the residency programs at Virginia Mason and Swedish/Cherry Hill hospitals.
