  • Tasting notes:
    The seeds are fleshy and taste both sweet and acidic. Middle eastern pomegranates tend to be sweeter than those grown in India, which can have a slightly bitter aftertaste.
  • The juice varies in color from a light pink to a deep red, it is sweet but with a refreshing sharpness.
  • Combines well with:
    avocado, cucumber, cinnamon, walnuts, cardamoms, ginger
