Indian pomegranates (anaar) tend to be sweeter, redder, and more intensely flavored than California-grown varieties — the kind that stain your fingers and burst with juice when you pop the seeds. For eating fresh by the handful, sprinkling over chaat, stirring into raita, or juicing for a deep red glass of freshness.
