What it is

Pomegranate molasses is a thick, dark syrup made from the juice of pomegranates. The juice is simmered until it reduces and caramelizes, resulting in a concentrated, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pomegranate molasses as a flavoring agent and sweetener. Its intense, fruity taste adds depth to both sweet and savory dishes, commonly found in marinades, salad dressings, glazes, and desserts.

Health notes

Pomegranate molasses is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of antioxidants, which are compounds that may help protect cells from damage. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated pomegranate and its derivatives, but no specific health claims are approved for pomegranate molasses at typical consumption levels. Evidence on specific health benefits is ongoing.

Allergen info

Pomegranate molasses is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
