The pomegranate plant is a large shrub or small tree that has smooth, evergreen leaves and showy orange to red flowers. It has rounded fruit with a dry outer covering (husk) made up of two layers : (1) a hard-outer layer called an epicarp, (2) a soft inner layer called a mesocarp.Eating pomegranates may protect heart health, support exercise performance and recovery, and promote brain function. Plus, pomegranates provide a source of essential nutrients, such as vitamin C and folate, as well as a number of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant compounds.
