Anardana Afghani / अनारदाना / Pomegranate dry seed / Punica Granatum

Anardana is a spice used in Indian cooking to give a sour-sweet taste to dishes. It is made from the dried seeds of pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum).

The seeds are dried along with the pulp, either by sun-drying or other means of dehydration. They are then ground or sold in whole form.
