Pomegranates and Blueberries are rich in protective anti-cancer anti-oxidant phytochemicals including pterostilbene from blueberries and punicalgin from pomegranates. The addition of herbs and spices adds more anti-oxidants and more support for normal inflammation control. Use this sauce on vegetables, grains, poultry, meats or in yogurt.
