The other day I took my walk to buy my produce. Got everything I needed, all fresh veggies and berries, and I asked the store manager, "do you sell Pomegranates"?. They didn't even know what I was talking about.

I went to 7 stores (It's a big avenue with lots of fruit and vegetable stores). I figured SOMEONE WOULD BE SELLING POMEGRANATES.

Well, to my surprise, NOT ONE STORE SOLD THIS FRUIT.

I was on line and a lovely Indian woman strolled over to me and said "you want pomagranates, right? and I said "oh yes, where are they" and she laughed and said "they are not in season". And I said 'what season are they in" and she laughed and said "Winter".

Well, I guess that does it for Pomegranates.

I am debating whether or not to buy one of those POMI drinks or straight Pomegranate juice (one without any added sugar).

I haven't done so yet.

The juicing is doing me just fine. I don't put in too much fruit. Just some berries along with my veggies. Drink this every morning. Doesn't impact my sugar. I'm feeling good. And my body thinks good things are going in so in that respect, to me, it's a good thing. And together with taking the Methyl B-12, no burning. I have no idea if this is all in my head or my nerves are healing, but what the heck, there's no down-side to fresh juicing every morning. I don't do orange or high sugar fruits.

I read about the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory nature of using Pomegranate juice and I read on one juicing website that juicing a fresh Pomegranate, well, it's the best thing you can do for your body.

So if I can't get my hands on fresh pomegranates, would adding a teaspoon or tablespoon to my freshly juiced veggie mixture, well, would it do any good??

If it has no major beneficial properties, I'm not going to do it. Because the whole purpose of juicing is tot get the live enzymes.

So I'd actually be using "not fresh" pomegranate juice and adding it to my "fresh" juice.

Not too sure what to do. Anyone have a clue.

I don't know if any of you juice, but it really tastes good and it has all these anti-inflammatory goodness in it.

I'm changing it up each day, adding and deleting various items. It's all good. Only do it in the morning, then I immediately clean my juicer.

Tomorrow, I'm juicing up a batch and surprising Alan's physical therapist because he can't believe that anything with zucchini and asparagus could even taste good.

Is he in for a surprise!!!!

Take care all!!!
