Pomegranate juice is a tart, deeply colored beverage made by pressing the seeds of the pomegranate fruit. Widely consumed across the Middle East, South Asia, and the Mediterranean, it is used both as a drink and as a cooking ingredient, particularly in dishes like Iranian fesenjān and in the preparation of pomegranate molasses.
Known for its high levels of antioxidants such as polyphenols and vitamin C, the juice has been studied for potential health benefits, though definitive conclusions remain limited.
