Desi Danedar

Pomegranate

دیسی دانہ دار

Desi Danedar is the traditional hard-seeded anar, and it is properly sour. Eaten fresh it is an acquired taste, but that acidity is the whole point: this is the variety dried into anardana, the souring agent that goes into chana chaat, chutneys and Balochi cooking. Buy it for the kitchen rather than the fruit bowl.

Grown in: Khuzdar & Zhob, Balochistan
When: October into November
