Pomegranate Seeds (انار دانہ)

Anar Dana, or dried pomegranate seeds, are known for their tangy-sweet flavor and are commonly used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. These seeds are dried and sometimes ground into a powder to add a sour note to chutneys, curries, and spice blends like chaat masala. Anar dana enhances the taste of dishes like aloo sabzi, chutneys, and even street snacks, offering a natural tartness similar to tamarind or amchur. Apart from flavor, it’s also valued for its digestive benefits and antioxidant properties.
