Anardana, Whole

Anardana is another name for dried pomegranate seeds. The seeds are sticky and crunchy, with a pleasantly sweet, tart flavour. They bring a wonderfully distinctive sweet and sour aspect to dishes.

“Anardana” is derived from the Persian words “Anar” meaning pomegranate and “Dana” meaning seed. Anardana is made by drying the arils (the juicy, seed-containing portions of the pomegranate fruit) under the sun, or by other low-temperature methods and help to preserve their flavour and nutritional properties.

Anardana is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium and fibre, which makes it a healthy, nutritious addition to meals. Additionally, In Ayurvedic and traditional medicine, Anardana is believed to possess digestive properties that can alleviate stomach-related issues.

The seeds are typically used in Persian and Indian cooking, where they are found in vegetable dishes, chutneys, curries and stews. Before use, we advise that you soak the seeds in water or crush before sprinkling directly onto dishes.
