Gıda “Endüstrisi”, keşfetmeden yıllar önce nar ekşisi ile tanıştığımda, nerelerde kullanabileceğimi denemekten çok keyif almıştım. Ekşiydi, yoğundu, derindi, balzamik sirkeyi andırıyordu. İlk olarak salata sosunda kullanmıştım. Bugün reçel yaparken limon suyu yerine bile kullanıyorum. 🙂
Once it started showing on market shelves, our guests visiting All Sports Cafe started asking for it. Unfortunately they all thought that our molasses was dark, sour and too thick to their liking. What they did not know was that they were buying and using molasses made with glucose syrup, consistency additives, color, pectin, caramel, sodium, benzoate (E211), citric acid, etc etc added, where they nearly forgot the real pomegranate molasses. As in all the products where sugar is added, this product also found it's way in people's taste preferences on the wrong side.
The real (Can say true, traditional or of it's own if you want) pomegranate molasses are made from sour pomegranates, which in fact are wild. Can extract 1 liter of molasses from 10 to 15 kilograms of pomegranates. End up being something expensive, but using 1-2 teaspoons would be enough.
We have a riddle on pomegranates, "Bought one from the market and when I got home it looked like thousands". With that in mind, know that there are various brands of molasses on shelves. Just check the product name, read the ingredients and if you see anything other than pomegranates, please do not buy.
