The nation’s army of pomegranate farmers must be thumbing their noses at their brothers-in-law these days, as pomegranate drinks are now everywhere.

Based on the pomegranate’s high level of antioxidants – topping that of the blueberry, and exceeded only in fruits you never heard of – pomegranate is clearly the flavor of the year. And now it seems that pomegranate-blueberry is the flavor combination of the year.

Minute Maid, for example, has expanded its line of “enhanced juices” – previously consisting of orange juice with your choice of glucosamine (for joint health), plant sterols (for cholesterol reduction) or 16 vitamins and minerals. That line now includes pomegranate blueberry flavored 100 percent juice blend, with vitamins B12, C and E, choline and DHA. (DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid said to be important for both heart and brain.)

You shouldn’t be surprised that although the juice is named pomegranate blueberry, those are the third and fourth ingredients (after apple and grape). That’s the deal in fruit-beverage naming.

The key words in “pomegranate blueberry flavored 100-percent juice blend” are “flavored” and “blend.”
