Dried pomegranate seeds are used in Indian (primarily Punjabi) and Iranian cooking. The seeds are collected from a wild, sour pomegranate (daru) rather than the sweeter pomegranate, which is typically eaten fresh. The seeds are used to add a sweet/sour flavor to chutneys, vegetable and legume dishes. The whole seeds are included in some lamb dishes.
