Anardana

Available from World Spice Merchants when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Made of dried pomegranate seeds, this spice has a mildly fruity, sweet and sour flavor. Used in India to sour chutneys, anardana is also used in pastries and breads in the Middle East. The seeds are tough and sticky, but can be infused into liquids or combined with other spices and ground to impart intense flavor.
