Pomegranates are the superior food!

Usually, favorite foods are a highly subjective topic, one that falls on personal preference for each person. In this case though, the key term is SuperiorSuperior is defined as: Of high standard or quality. [1][1] . http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...I will be arguing that Moringa has a higher nutritional quality than Pomegranates, if I can accomplish that, then I will have successfully presented a food which is more superior than pomegranates. I. What is Moringa? Moringa, known officially as Moringa Oleifera, is a perennial (meaning it grows year-round) green-leafed tree which provides nutritious moringa leaves and seed pods: Moringa is native to parts of Africa and Asia, and grows extremely well in sub-tropical and tropical climates. Recently, it's been taking over America due to the growing awareness of the nutritional benefits this plant offers when consumed. [2]There are several ways to consume moringa including raw right off the tree, sun-dried, dehydrated, or in powder form. It makes an excellent topping for salads, tomato sauces, and any kind of meal where a green plant would be used as a balance or compliment. Another interesting fact about Moringa is that it's an excellent foundational tree for gardeners working with soil that is dry or void of nutrition. The moringa tree itself is very rich in Nitrogen which when released into the surrounding soil helps enrich the soil for other plants. Now that I've introduced the food itself, I'll begin showing the nutritional value and my reasoning as to why it's superior to pomegranates. [2] . http://en.wikipedia.org...II. Superior Nutritional value Since my opponent failed to give any real information on pomegranates, I'll do so in order to create a comparative method for outlining the difference between the two. Health benefits of Pomegranate [3] The fruit is moderate in calories; 100 g provides 83 calories, slightly more than that in apples. The fruit is suggested by nutritionists in the diet for weight reduction and cholesterol controlling programs. The fruit is also good source of antioxidant vitamin-C, provides about 17% per 100 g of daily requirement. Further, it is an also good source of many vital B-complex groups of vitamins such as pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), folates, pyridoxine and vitamin K, and minerals like calcium, copper, potassium, and manganese.

Not only does it have a greater nutritional value than pomegranates ounce for ounce, but it also has medicinal applications that have served to benefit countless mothers [7] in poverty-stricken locations around Africa when given as pre-natal vitamins when in powdered form. [7] . http://www.moringarevealed.com...In closing, I have shown Moringa to be the superior food. Pomegranates, while healthy, are nowhere near as superior as Moringa in regards to ease of growth, rich sustenance, and practical applications in medicinal uses. Pro has done nothing to show that Pomegranates are superior to Moringa, I therefore rest my case.
