The pomegranate tree, or punica granatum originally comes from Persia, but pomegranates are now cultivated in many different countries. India, the USA and Turkey are all major producers of pomegranates.
Some popular dishes that use pomegranate as a staple ingredient include stews, soups and salads.
You can also cook with pomegranate molasses to add an
original flavour to your recipes! Pomegranate molasses is a syrup made by
reducing pomegranate juice and sugar.
