Pomegranates are known for their perfectly sweet and tart flavor and antioxidants, free-radical fighters. The pomegranate is native to central Asia and has been prized by civilizations since ancient times. It is a red fruit, full of hundreds of seeds surrounded by a red, juicy pulp called aril. Pomegranate Powder is silky smooth and naturally sweet without any added sugar. Pomegranate powder is pervasive in Indian cuisine, where it is known as anardana and is used as a souring agent in many curries, chutneys, and meat dishes. Substitute fruit powder for 1/4 of the regular flour called for in a cake recipe.
