As Rosh Hashanah approaches and Israel’s pomegranate trees are lush with the ripe red super-fruits, now is the perfect time to talk about the pomegranate’s rich symbolism and health benefits.

Joining ISRAEL21c reporter Viva Sarah Press in the studio of TLV1 Radio were Doron Holland, a senior researcher and head of fruit tree sciences at the Volcani Institute Agricultural Research Organization; and Dr. Eran Magon, founder of the Israeli center for Ayurveda and head of the Ayurvedic school at Tel Aviv University to talk about what makes this fruit such a healthy alternative.
