Berry marketer Sun Belle Inc. has launched its 2021 Pomegranate Arils program with Green Belle organic and Sun Belle conventional 4.4 ounce cups packed by Agricola Los Medanos S.A. in Ica, Peru.
"The arils are extracted from just-ripe pomegranates in Los Medanos’ ultra-clean facility using state-of-the-art technology, including UV sanitation," says Janice Honigberg, president of Sun Belle Inc. They’re immediately packed in retail cups with peel-and- resealable lids with a tamper-proof outer ring seal and air shipped to North America. Sun Belle ensures freshness and longer shelf life through its 24/7 cold chain logistics operations. The pomegranate arils are the Wonderful variety and certified by Global G.A.P., SMETA, GRASP, BRC Food, Kosher, USDA Organic and HACCP. They are available from late March through August.

Sun Belle anticipates strong demand for arils, particularly as the TikTok phenomenon #naturescereal gains popularity among millions of viewers. “Nature’s Cereal” is a recipe combining pomegranate arils, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and sliced strawberries with coconut water as a healthy breakfast alternative. The arils are ruby sweet flavor pops that can be used in a variety of ways--in breakfast bowls, desserts, salads, savory dishes, snacks, beverages and more.
“Pomegranates are among the world’s most ancient fruits, always sought after for their taste and beauty. The tiny red jewels are rich in vitamin C, K, B-6 and potassium,” mentions Honigberg. “High in antioxidants and fiber but with a low-calorie count, pomegranate arils are a ready-to-eat snack for health-conscious consumers. Sun Belle is pleased to offer such quality products through the spring and summer months.”

In addition to flats of 12 x 4.4. oz resealable organic and conventional cups, Sun Belle is distributing conventional arils in resealable 3 x 2 lb. bags and 6 x 1 lb. bags for foodservice, commissary, bakery and salad bar operations.
Sun Belle, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, was founded by Honigberg in Washington, DC and is the exclusive marketer of the Sun Belle and Green Belle brands.
