Pomegranate Peel. Pomegranate is an important fruit of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The fruit consists of three parts: the seed, the juice and the peel. The seed and the juice are known to be very beneficial, but the peel also has good qualities. The article

‘‘Comparing nutritive value of ensiled and dried pomegranate peels for ruminants using in vitro gas production technique’’ (Annals of Biological Research, Vol. 3 (4). pp.1942−1946) givesthe chemical composition of dried pomegranate peels as shown in the following table.
