So, I need to like pomegranate juice

Bottlegreen drinks

Last week I’ve piqued on two flavors from Bottlegreen. While Cox’s Apple tasted like Cali’s Apple drink, the combination of elderflower and pomegranate as a drink came a little weird for me. Maybe it’s because I’m not oriented to floral flavors. Few days ago I got another two bottles of Cox’s Apple, while I almost never wanted to finish my pink drink. Until I read the article titled 11 Best Foods that You Are Not Eating Well.

Of these 11 best foods, only the folllowing are in my general consumption:
(a) Cabbage. Should be eaten like Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches.
(b) Dried plums. I’ve eaten one ages ago, ack!
(c) Pumpkin seeds, the most nutritious part of the pumpkin and packed with magnesium (yay!)
(d) Sardines, should be packed in olive or sardine oil.

Well, that’s 4 of 11. The rest include beets, swiss chard, cinnamon, pomegranate juice, turmeric, frozen blueberries and canned pumpkin (weird!). So, there’s no more reason for me to drop the bottle of pomegranate. That makes it 5 of 11.

Ooh interesting link! Thanks for sharing.

I’d eat beets if I knew how to enjoy them. Wouldn’t they be weird eaten raw? Blech. They’re okay in salads but when boiled.

Cabbage. Check!

Swiss Chard. Er, we don’t get that here?

Cinnamon. I enjoy it on cakes. Teehee.

Pomegranate juice. Kinda pricey.

Dried plums. Good when constipated too.

Pumpkin seeds - yum!

Sardines. Check!

Turmeric. Er, okay. I’ll get on that.

Frozen blueberries. Ooooh okay I’ll try. Expensive lang though.

Canned pumpkin. Don’t get that here either!

@Jared: That’s right. Pomegranates (scientic name Punica granatum), are referred to locally as granada or Chinese apple. English name is derived from the french word ‘pomme’ for apple, and ‘grenate’ for many seeds.
