Pomegranate The pomegranate, a Persian native, is one of the oldest fruits known to man and was highly esteemed by the Israelites. It takes an enormous amount of the flower petals to be pressed and steam-distilled in order to make a quantity of oil. Once pressed the slightly amber oil, which is the basis for all our Pomegranate products, gives off a pleasant and slightly fruity odor. Jewish tradition teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol for righteousness, because it is said to have 613 seeds which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot or commandments of the Torah. Pomegranate is one of the seven species the spies brought back with them to show how fertile the promised land was. It speaks of God's favor exhibited, in fruitfulness and abundance - hence we call it our “BLESSINGS COLLECTION”.
