POM Wonderful Pomegranate Juice

A special thanks goes out to Diana and the POM Wonderful team for sending me a case of their pomegranate juice! POM Wonderful is 100% pomegranate juice - no sugar, no preservatives, just juice. Because there are no preservatives, POM Wonderful must be refrigerated to guarantee long-lasting freshness.

I love the shape and size of these little 8-oz. bottles. Before receiving this juice, I've only had the actual fruit once back in high school. I was a little weirded out by eating just the seeds, but I don't remember much else of the taste. Since then, I've had pomegranate blueberry juice and applesauce, which is ironic because blueberries and my stomach do not get along. Since I couldn't really tell you what pomegranate alone tastes like, I didn't know what to expect. I must say it is definitely an acquired taste. My dad and I, who eat almost anything, liked it but my mom and brother, who are picky, did not. It's not to say anything against the juice. It's either you like pomegrante or you don't. And since it's 100% juice, there are no sugar or preservatives to hide the pure taste.

Overall, I would recommend this juice to pomegranate lovers (obviously). If you are unsure about liking it, as long as you are open to new tastes and are not picky, you should like this juice. If you don't like "exotic" flavors, you may want to pass on this.

My next step is cook/bake with the juice. I did find a nice white chocolate pomegranate mousse recipe somewhere. That probably won't happen until next month though. Maybe I'll try something quick, like muffins.

Will I buy this product once I'm out? Yes, as long as I can afford it. I honestly don't know how much a bottle goes for at the store, and student loans will be due soon...

Side note - I will be in Washington, D.C. Thursday - Sunday, so all comments and emails will be answered upon returning. Have a wonderful weekend!
