A MORNING glass of orange juice may be good for you but now there's another fruit drink that's even healthier.
Pomegranate juice is a rich source of vitamins A, C and E as well as antioxidants called flavonoids - it contains more of these vital ingredients than any other drink.

A boiled infusion of the rind is said to soothe a sore throat, while a paste of the leaves massaged into the scalp is supposed to reverse baldness.
