Make the most of this sweet-sour fruit with with our easy recipes – mix the seeds into salads, meat and couscous dishes, or sweeten sauces, desserts and drinks with pomegranate molasses and juice
Looking for pomegranate recipes? We've got plenty of inspiration for using the raw pomegranate seeds, juice and molasses in a range of colourful and delicious recipes, including pomegranate salads and pomegranate chicken. Also check out our Middle Eastern meze recipes and healthy fruit recipes. The Latin translation for pomegranate is ‘apple with many seeds’ but don’t rush to bite into one. Make sure you remove the thick, pithy skin before getting to the sweet, slightly tart seeds inside. What are pomegranates? Pomegranates are round, shiny fruits originally grown between northern India and Iran. They have a hard outer shell that can be cut open to reveal red jewel-like sacs filled with sweet, juicy flesh and white, pithy seeds. They are highly nutritious and renowned for their antioxidant properties. How to cut a pomegranate Learn how to cut a pomegranate and extract the seeds with our step-by-step instructions: 1. Cut the pomegranate in half along its circumference. 2. Taking one half at a time, and working over a bowl, squeeze the fruit to loosen the seeds. 3. Bash the top of the pomegranate with a wooden spoon to release all the seeds. For more advice, watch our video on how to remove pomegranate seeds. How to cook pomegranates The seeds can be eaten raw in salads to provide a sour, fruity flavour and crunchy texture. They also work well with roasted meats and stews, as the flavour cuts through the richness of these dishes. What is pomegranate molasses? Pomegranate molasses is made by reducing pomegranate juice to a syrup. The molasses adds a tangy zing to dressings and marinades, but also works well as a rich, fruity glaze for roasted meat. Fresh pomegranate juice can also be used in cocktails or bastes for meat. What are the health benefits of pomegranates? Many of the health benefits attributed to pomegranates are thanks to punicic acid, a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid, and punicalagins which are potent antioxidants that offer three times the antioxidant activity of red wine or green tea. Pomegranates also have an impressive nutrient profile, providing a source of fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, B vitamins and potassium. In fact, one pomegranate supplies about a third of your daily vitamin C and a quarter of your folate (folic acid). Where to buy pomegranate molasses For the best advice on where to source this ingredient, read our guide on what is pomegranate molasses and where to buy it.
