While the peel has minerals, the aril (seed pod inside the pomegranate) has phenolics, a class of chemical compounds and anthocyanin, natural pigments, which give pomegranates its color and anti-cancer properties.

POMEGRANATE AND ITS ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES
Multiple medical researchers have shown that pomegranates can help the body fight cancer. This is generally attributed to its high content of polyphenols. For example, in trials done on mice that were injected with prostate cancer causing cells, it was observed that the group which was fed with pomegranate juice had smaller tumours which took longer to develop, as compared to the group which drank water only. In trials done on humans, the fruit juice given to prostate patients lead to reduction in the levels of prostate specific antigens (PSA), elevated levels of which, may indicate prostate cancer.
