Pomogranate (1 piece)

Keep the pomegranate portion smaller, such as 1/4–1/2 cup of arils, and avoid having a large bowl at once.

Choose whole arils rather than pomegranate juice, syrup, or sweetened pomegranate products.

Eat pomegranate with protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, a small handful of almonds or walnuts, or cottage cheese.

Have it as part of a balanced meal instead of on an empty stomach or alongside other sugary or refined-carbohydrate foods.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.

Check your response with your usual glucose-monitoring method; if spikes persist despite portion changes, discuss personalized guidance with your clinician.
