Knowing it
- Where to buy
- Middle Eastern and Turkish grocers. Heavy, with taut skin.
- A little history
- Boiled down, the juice becomes pomegranate molasses; Iranian fesenjan pairs it with walnuts.
- Worth knowing
- Halve it and bash the back with a wooden spoon over a bowl, and the seeds fall out.
