The pomegranate is a precious fruit, widely appreciated for its beneficial properties and, when grown organically, becomes a perfect example of sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.
In Molise, a region renowned for its connection to the land and the quality of its agricultural production, organic pomegranate cultivation allows for a healthy fruit, rich in nutrients and completely free of pesticides or synthetic chemicals.
Benefits of the Pomegranate
The pomegranate is an extraordinary source of vitamins and antioxidants. In particular, it is rich in vitamin A (in the form of provitamin A, or retinol equivalents – RAE) and vitamin C, as well as providing fibre and minerals essential for daily well-being. Provitamin A plays a key role in visual health, reproduction and the process of cell differentiation. Vitamin C, on the other hand, not only boosts the immune system but is also essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key protein for maintaining elastic and youthful skin.
Antioxidants in pomegranate, including provitamin A and ascorbic acid, fight free radicals, harmful molecules that accelerate cellular ageing and contribute to the development of chronic diseases. Including pomegranate in one’s diet can therefore help maintain a glowing skin, strengthen the immune system and protect the body from the damaging effects of oxidative stress.
Organic cultivation in Molise
Our pomegranate is grown according to strict organic farming principles, without the use of chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilisers or GMOs. This approach guarantees not only a healthier product for the consumer, but also a reduced environmental impact, preserving the biodiversity of the land. Organic farming respects the earth’s natural rhythms and uses techniques that favour soil fertility and plant health, contributing to sustainable and durable agriculture.
