Pomegranate juice is very tasty and is taken to bring down fever.
Pomegranates contain plenty of natural sugars and vitamin C.

The dried seeds are made into sour anardana, which is a spice

used to flavour pakoras and aloo paranthas. The rind of the
pomegranate is dried and powdered and taken to cure an upset

stomach.

Pomegranates are called anar in Hindi. One of the most

renowned dancers in the court of Mughal emperor Akbar was
called Anarkali — bud of the anar — because she was so

beautiful.

Some pomegranates are called kandhari, as once they were only

grown in a place called Kandahar, in Afghanistan.
