Jan Harmsgat makes a splash with its new Pomegranate juice

1st Shared By

Jan Harmsgat farm is located at the southernmost tip of the Robertson wine valley along the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains.  The farm, dating back to 1723, is situated in a unique position as it borders with the dry conditions of the Karoo as well as the cool sea breeze from the coastal regions.  

The pomegranate fruit is known as an ancient fruit, rich in antioxidants and wonderful health benefits.  Supermarkets, health food stores and even street corner fruit shops are stocked with Pomegranate fruits and its juices.  

The JHG pomegranate juice is 100% juiced from the whole fruit with no sugar, colouring or flavouring added. Beautifully packaged in a 2L organic style box with a shelf life of six months.  This delicious beverage is perfect for a hot summer’s day, your go to companion during Dry January or even as a cheeky cocktail with your favourite gin, vodka or bubbly during the month of love in February.
