Pomegranate: The controversy over the fruit that Adam gave Eve may continue an Apple or a Pomegranate but the super-fruit status of Pomegranates is here to stay! We treat this super-fruit with a lot of respect, from storage to processing. The fruit is fed into a washer where it is cleaned in an air bubbling water bath. It moves into the process hall onto a conveyor, careful eyes look at it and remove the damaged fruit- this is the last human touch. The fruit moves into specialized aril (seeds) extraction machine which separates the skin and pith from the arils. These are then gently squeezed in a membrane press without causing any damage to the core of the seeds. This juice then goes through pasteurization and based on the desired end product can pass through either the Ultra-filtration system or directly go to the evaporator where water is evaporated under vacuum and low temperatures to retain the extra-ordinary properties of the product.
