Pomegranate Molasses, Cortas, 300ml

Pomegranates are a sweet fruit with a hint of tartness that originally grew in tropical Asia. Pomegranate molasses is a simple concoction of pomegranate juice, sugar and lemon juice. Therefore, you can get the same health benefits from pomegranate molasses as you can from pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juice contains antioxidants and B vitamins that provide various health benefits. Pomegranate molasses contains several B vitamins including B1, B3, B5 and B6. Vitamin B1, or thiamin helps your body produce energy and is an aid to enzymes that help your muscles, cardiovascular system and nervous system. Vitamin B3, or niacin, helps to maintain the health and vitality of your skin, nervous system and digestive system. Whisk it into salad dressings - Pomegranate molasses is a great option, since it adds a more complex acidity than lemon juice or vinegar. Stir into iced tea and other drinks - It's tough to make a good mocktail or non-alcoholic spritzer without too much sweetness. You can stir pomegranate molasses straight into sparkling water; it's a delicious and refreshing drink (add a dash of non-alcoholic bitters to amp it up a bit). It also adds the most important note in these two recipes below.
