What it is
Organic pomegranate concentrate is a thick liquid made from pomegranates. It is produced by pressing the fruit to extract juice, then heating the juice to remove most of its water content. This process intensifies the flavor and color of the pomegranate.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic pomegranate concentrate to add a natural fruit flavor and color to foods and beverages. It is often found in juices, yogurts, and fruit-flavored snacks. Its concentrated form allows for a strong pomegranate taste with a small amount.
Health notes
Organic pomegranate concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, which are compounds that may help protect cells from damage. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pomegranate juice and its components, but have not set specific limits for the concentrate itself. Research on the health effects of pomegranate concentrate is ongoing.
Allergen info
Pomegranates are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
