Description
POMEGRANATE (PUNICA GRANATUM)
Pomegranates are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium, as well as several other key nutrients. In fact, eating one pomegranate gives you about 28 mg of vitamin C, which is almost 50 percent of your daily recommended intake (DRI).
Pomegranate powder is nothing but sun-dried and ground seeds of the pomegranate fruit. While both the seeds and the powder are readily available in stores. To achieve this, first skin a fresh pomegranate and sun-dry the arils for five to six days.
Anardana is used in Indian and Persian cuisine as a souring agent, much like sumac or amchoor. Slow air drying makes it more molasses-like than fresh pomegranate, so it adds depth of flavor as well as brightness.
