Pomegranate Marinade – A Powerful Antioxidant Boost

This simple pomegranate marinade gives a powerful antioxidant boost to chicken, fish, pork, or lamb.

Pomegranates are loaded with polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that “offer protection against the development of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases.” (source)

A ½ cup of arils, the red pods with the white seeds inside, offer 15% of the daily recommended vitamin C, 18% of vitamin K and 14% of the fiber. Pomegranates are also a great source of folate, copper, and magnesium.

Combined with heart-healthy garlic and olive oil, this marinade adds plenty of nutrition as well as a beautiful pink hue.
