Dried Pomegranate Peel / Rind (Punica Granatum)Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Pomegranate Peel (Punica granatum), the thick, leathery outer rind of the fruit. This part of the pomegranate is far richer in certain beneficial compounds than the arils (seeds) themselves. It is highly valued in traditional medicine systems, particularly Ayurveda, for its powerful astringent, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
The peel contains an extremely high concentration of Polyphenols, primarily Ellagitannins (such as Punicalagins), which are potent antioxidants and responsible for the peel’s health benefits and its strong, bitter flavor. Our peels are carefully dried to preserve these fragile compounds.
