Pomegranates are cultivated in many parts of the world. The edible red fruits grow on shrubs/small trees with the same name. The jewel-like seeds and sweet-tart juice of the fruit are used in many sweet and savory recipes. Apart from being delicious, pomegranates are healthy too. They are considered to have anti-oxidant, anti-viral, and anti-tumor properties – and to be very heart-healthy. They are also a good source of vitamins A, C, E, and K, folic acid, selenium, zinc, magnesium, protein, potassium, and fiber. Some of the further claimed health benefits of pomegranates include clearing up the skin, reducing inflammation and treating of sore throats, stomach disorders, dental problems, osteoarthritis, anemia, and diabetes.
In this recipe, pomegranate juice and seeds are used to make a vibrant triple-layer pomegranate mousse dessert. It is an elegant-looking dessert but very easy to make. This dessert is perfect for parties or as a gift to your family and friends. Everyone will enjoy the sweet-tart flavor in every layer, including the fresh pomegranate seeds in the mousse and on top.
