Pomegranate seeds tea (Punica granatum L.) LAB-proven QUALITY and PURITY

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) also known as Shi Liu​, Peace Pomegranate, Pearl Pomegranate, Granat has been used traditionally for ages.

The name “pomegranate” derives from the Latin word “pomum” meaning “apple, and “granatum” meaning “seeded.” The whole name translates as “seeded apple.” The ancient Spanish city of Granada is named after the pomegranate with the city using an image of the fruit on its heraldry.

Pomegranates are long lived with some species being as old as 200 years of age. They are a worldwide and ancient symbol for fertility, life, death, reincarnation, prosperity, eternal life, and marriage.

Pomegranates have been found in the tomb of Queen Hatshepsut in Egypt and archeological sites in Jericho in the West Bank, dating back to the early Bronze Age. The Ancient Egyptians regarded pomegranates as a symbol of prosperity and ambition. 

The myth of Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, uses pomegranate seeds to quench her thirst while she is a prisoner of the underworld. To this day, in Greece, the pomegranate is given as a gift to new homeowners. The fruit is placed under the home-altar of the house as a symbol of abundance, good luck, and fertility.

Pomegranates appear on the ancient coins of Judea. When not in use, the handles of Torah scrolls are sometimes covered with decorative silver globes similar in shape to pomegranates as pomegranates symbolize the mystical experience in the Jewish mystical tradition, called the kabbalah.

The first incontrovertible image of Christ in a mosaic is a 4th-century floor mosaic from Hinton St. Mary in Dorset England. The bust of Christ is flanked with pomegranates. The fruit bursting open symbolizes the fullness of Jesus’ suffering and resurrection.

The trees have been grown in South China and Southeast Asia for centuries and were brought by traders via the Silk Road. In Japan, the pomegranate is a popular bonsai tree because of its flowers and its unusual twisted bark that the older trees can attain. In China, a picture of the ripe fruit with seeds bursting forth is often hung in homes to bestow fertility and numerous offspring. Some said the number of seeds represented the number of generations a family would enjoy.

In Chinese culture, the pomegranate is used in Buddhist religious ceremonies and for daily purposes as well. The seeds were used as a dye for hair and as a medicine. The branch of a pomegranate tree was used to sprinkle water during ceremonies. While the peach is typically used to symbolize longevity, once the pomegranate was introduced in 126 B.C., it was used as a replacement if peaches were not available.
