Summary:

"When you go into a supermarket, do you ever notice how fruits are arranged? Typically, you see the apples first. Red and shiny, available in different varieties, apples greet you with their all-American essence, proudly welcoming you to the land of produce. You notice the oranges next. Organized neatly in their own prime real estate, oranges are bold, beautiful and reflect the sunshine of their native lands. You also see bananas, grapes, and maybe cherries, mangoes, and pears. Ever notice the pomegranates? Almost always, pomegranates are located near other exotic fruit, typically sharing aisle space with kiwi and pineapple. If you aren't looking for pomegranates, you probably won't find them. These incredibly powerful "super fruits" might escape your attention unless you've purchased them before and know exactly where to find them. And if you've ever had a pomegranate, well, you know how wonderful and beneficial they can be"-- Provided by publisher.
