Pomegranate (2-2.5lb)

انار — ۲–۲.۵ پوند (۳ عدد متوسط)

Fresh pomegranates (anar — انار) — approximately 3 medium-sized fruits, 2–2.5lb total — bursting with deep ruby-red arils, naturally sweet-tart juice, and the full aromatic richness that makes Iranian pomegranate one of the most prized and most culturally significant fruits in Persian cuisine and celebration. Pomegranate is the centrepiece fruit of Yalda Night (Shab-e Yalda — شب یلدا), the Persian winter solstice celebration, where anar and watermelon are placed on the sofreh-ye Yalda as symbols of life, abundance, and the triumph of light over darkness. Beyond Yalda, anar is essential to Khoresh Fesenjan (the celebrated pomegranate-and-walnut stew), Ash-e Anar (pomegranate soup), fresh-pressed pomegranate juice, and Persian salads and garnishes. For local Greater Vancouver delivery only — fresh seasonal fruit.

Serve whole on the Yalda sofreh; seed and eat fresh; press into pomegranate juice; use seeds in salads, yogurt, and Persian rice dishes; use juice in Khoresh Fesenjan and Ash-e Anar.
