Afghan pomegranates are the best in the world

Pomegranates are often categorized as a superfood due to their high concentration of protective plant compounds such as anthocyanins, ellagitannins and organic acids. These substances have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and help protect cells against oxidative damage. Afghanistan can be considered the country of the pomegranate fruit because of the excellent quality of the cultivars that thrive there. Afghan pomegranates in comparison to the same fruit from other countries are said to be larger (jumbo), sweeter and redder. These are the best pomegranates you'll ever see in your life, they are the biggest, they are the reddest and they taste great. Afghanistan is a land for 48 leading world cultivars of pomegranate commonly growing in Kandahar, Samangan, Kapisa, Farah, Nimruz and Balkh Provinces.
