Rani Anardana (Pomegranate) Dry Whole Seeds Indian Spice 3.5oz (100g) ~ All Natural | No Color | Gluten Friendly | Vegan | NON-GMO

Very good ground pomegranate seed powder should be a crimson tinged amber color and should smell very rich and sour, like pomegranates. The rich amber color comes from the presence of the very nutritious ellagic acid. This is the only one I've tried that is like that. Cheap Anardana powders in generic bags are light brown and weak.This Anardana does have a tendency to clump in the jar. This is actually a good thing to see. Simply put it through a food mill or sifter to break it back up into a consistent powder.

Needed this specific Indian spice for the my version of Kenyan Indian Samosas, where I first tasted back in the mid-seventies and my bride had never had. I was VERY pleased to see the spice was not stale, or turned into a brick when it arrived.... Fresh, Aromatic, granular in nature and not clumpy. Will buy again. Also can be used as a tart "pop" on domestic dishes which some find bland-- I have used as an additive in my cauliflower flour with good results for my vegan friends.

The product is unusable due to it being rancid and just plain awful. There wasn’t a seal on the package and it seems as if it had already been opened and used. Unfortunately it is not eligible for a return. Very disappointed with this product.

This product constituted my first contact with Anardana and I really liked its taste and behavior in soy creamer/coconut beverage mix which is able to “extract” some of its goodness into a soluble phase as judged by the change in color from white to pale chocolate brown at a ratio of 8 oz mix to two teaspoons of Anardana vigorously stirred and rested overnight in the refrigerator. Next day warm up and stir again. Enjoy the liquid as well as the undissolved particulate matter. The goodness is in both.

Didn't taste as good as Pom brand

I don’t know why pomegranate powder is so hard to find in Indian stores, and pomegranate powder from an American grocery or health food store is so expensive! My favorite Indian grocery recently stopped carrying Pom powder. It was very cheap in price but good quality there. It seems I can only buy it here on Amazon these days. Great for pakoras and samosas. This particular product would probably not b suitable for smoothies though, if that’s what you’re looking for. There r definitely better quality versions of it out there, but this seems most affordable.

Product arrived promptly, safely, and in good shape. This high quality spice made my cooking heads and shoulders better than it was before! Yum!

I ordered these to use in a recipe for Chapli Burgers that I saw in the NY Times. The burgers were great, so I'm very happy with the pomegranate seeds.
