Vitalgrana presents its educational project Granaeduca

Vitalgrana It is a company specialized in the elaboration of products derived from pomegranate. To bring children the culture of this fruit has launched the educational project Granaeduca with which he intends to explain and publicize the importance of consuming the grenade in addition to encouraging them to perform physical exercise.

As we always say in Peques and Más, fruits and vegetables are essential components for a healthy diet. Its daily consumption can contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, constipation, hypertension, excess cholesterol, diabetes and obesity. WHO and FAO recommend as a population objective the consumption of a minimum of 400 grams per day of fruits and vegetables (excluding potatoes and other starchy tubers), having detected an insufficient intake of them in the diet worldwide.

So Vitalgrana has launched this didactic project Granaeduca to enrich the knowledge and curiosity of children in relation to pomegranate and encourage greater consumption of this fruit to maintain good health.

The pomegranate is a virtuous fruit It reports huge health benefits. It stands out for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power. It is rich in potassium, fiber and provides considerable amounts of magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, potassium, calcium and iron. It contains Vitamin A, C, E, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin) and niacin. The major sugars are glucose and fructose, while the predominant organic acids are citric, malic, and punic acid or Omega 5. The compounds with the greatest nutritional and functional interest present in pomegranate are the polyphenols that help reduce cholesterol levels in addition to contributing to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Vitalgrana It uses traditionally grown products in the Campo de Elche, Albatera and Els Carrissals. Vitalgrana juices are completely natural, with no added sugar, no additives or dyes. From a patented production system Vitalgrana takes advantage of 100% of the fruit, not only the grains and seeds, but also its bark and internal membranes, where most of the pomegranate's antioxidant compounds are concentrated.

Among the activities of Granaeduca is the participation in a guided excursion to the pomegranate orchards, a visit to the newly built Museum of interpretation of the pomegranate Conseller García Antón and to the Vitalgrana facilities in Catral. In addition, you can try the delicious Granadrink pomegranate nectar and discount vouchers will be given to children for the purchase of the nectar.

I wish Vitalgrana good luck with her educational project and I am sure that children will love knowing the details of the fruit and the manufacturing processes that the company applies.
