Introduction

Pomegranate, (Punica granatum L in Latin), belongs to the family Punicaceae which includes only one genus and two species. The tree is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated since ancient times throughout the Mediterranean region of Asia, Africa and Europe.

Pomegranate offers abundant benefits for the cardiovascular system by preventing damage to arterial walls, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, improving blood flow to the heart, and preventing or reversing atherosclerosis.

Pomegranate may benefit people with diabetes and those at risk for the disease. It helps lower after-meal blood sugar levels and protects the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage.

Pomegranate shows promise in killing prostate cancer cells, whether the cells are hormone-sensitive or not. Pomegranate also helped halt the progression of prostate cancer in men who had undergone surgery or radiation for the disease.

Pomegranate may fight the degeneration of joint tissue that leads to painful osteoarthritis, and may protect the brain against oxidative stress-induced changes that can lead to Alzheimer’s. Pomegranate extracts—alone or in combination with the herb gotu kola—help kill the bacteria that contribute to dental plaque, while helping to heal gum disease. Pomegranate also appears to protect the health of the skin and liver.

My family’s favorite fall recipe! This bread is so yummy it goes quickly. Note that my video has the amounts doubled because I made 2 loaves. Here is the recipe for one loaf:

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup sugar
1 T baking powder
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup orange juice + 1/2 tsp citrus zest
1/2 cup water + 1 T flax seeds (soak for 5 minutes) **
1/3 cup oil
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup canned pumpkin

optional: pumpkin seed, nuts, oats

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake 40-55 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before cutting and enjoy.

** In my video I did not have flax seed so I used ground flax. I still used the same amount of water that the recipe calls for. I would suggest using less water if you use ground flax since it takes the bread longer to cook due to the excess liquid. This contributes to the large cooking range I have given.

A pernicious weed known for its ability to climb and choke out anything in its way – but a good subject for shooting. This took six weeks to film and a couple of weeks to put it all together. I built a garden set in a plastic lined shoe box. With hindsight that wasn’t a great plan – the glitches in the film are due to the soil shifting as the cardboard started to give. I’ve done my best with image tracking software but there’s still a bit of trouble.

Even with the glitches I think this is my best setup so far. Somewhere in the region of 15,000 photos – I’m glad we don’t have to use film anymore
