No hay mucho tiempo para disfrutar de granadas frescas a lo largo del año. Entre octubre y noviembre es tiempo de recolección y hay que aprovecharlo.
There is not much time to enjoy fresh pomegranates throughout the year. Between October and November is harvest time and we must take advantage of it.
Los frutos de esta planta, el granado o Punica granatum, son capaces de permanecer en el árbol incluso cuando las hoyas ya han sucumbido al otoño. España es un gran productor de granadas a nivel mundial, aunque su origen es India e Irán.
The fruits of this plant, the pomegranate or Punica granatum, are able to remain on the tree even when the pits have already succumbed to autumn. Spain is a major producer of pomegranates worldwide, although its origin is India and Iran.
En la actualidad, podemos encontrar ejemplares de esta planta naturalizados ya que llevamos miles de años cultivándolos en el Mediterráneo, con usos que pueden ser desde el culinario al ornamental sin olvidar sus grandes beneficios medicinales.
Nowadays, we can find naturalized specimens of this plant since we have been cultivating them for thousands of years in the Mediterranean, with uses ranging from culinary to ornamental without forgetting their great medicinal benefits.
Las granadas son unos potentes antioxidantes ya que poseen altas cantidades de vitaminas C, B1, B2, E y K además de diversos minerales como hierro, calcio, potasio, manganeso y betacarotenos. Incluso hay estudios que indican que podrían tener capacidad de destruir las células infectadas de coronavirus por su poder como antiviral reforzando nuestro sistema inmunitario.
Pomegranates are powerful antioxidants as they have high amounts of vitamins C, B1, B2, E and K as well as various minerals such as iron, calcium, potassium, manganese and beta-carotene. There are even studies that indicate that they could have the capacity to destroy coronavirus infected cells due to their antiviral power, reinforcing our immune system.
Podemos consumirlas directamente, como fruta refrescante, mezclada con zumo de limón y miel. El zumo o licuado de una granada contiene casi la mitad de la vitamina C que necesitamos al día.
We can consume them directly, as a refreshing fruit, mixed with lemon juice and honey. The juice or smoothie of a pomegranate contains almost half of the vitamin C we need per day.
Sus cáscaras también tienen propiedades antiinflamatorias y antibacterianas y pueden usarse en infusión, tanto de forma fresca como desecadas previamente. La cáscara seca de granada molida en polvo puede usarse en cosmética natural.
Pomegranate peels also have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and can be used as an infusion, either fresh or dried. Dried pomegranate peel ground into powder can be used in natural cosmetics.
¡Es tiempo de granadas, es tiempo de cuidarse!
It's pomegranate time, it's time to take care of yourself!
