Questions about pomegranate in Nepal
What is pomegranate called in Nepali?
Pomegranate is called "अनार" (Anar) in Nepali. It's a popular fruit in Nepal, especially during festivals and winter months. Fresh anar juice is commonly sold by street vendors across Kathmandu.
When is pomegranate season in Nepal?
Pomegranate season in Nepal runs from October to February, with peak availability in November-December. This is when you get the freshest, juiciest pomegranates at the best prices. We also stock imported pomegranates year-round.
What is the price of pomegranate in Nepal?
Pomegranate prices at DokoFood range from Rs. 150 to Rs. 400 per piece depending on size and origin. Large, premium Kandahari pomegranates from Afghanistan are priced higher, while local varieties are more affordable.
How do I choose a good pomegranate?
Choose pomegranates that feel heavy for their size - this indicates juicy seeds. The skin should be firm and taut, not dried or cracked. Color ranges from pink to deep red; darker isn't always sweeter. A good pomegranate has flat sides, not perfectly round.
What is the easiest way to open a pomegranate?
Cut off the crown, score the skin into quarters without cutting deep, then break apart over a bowl of water. The seeds sink while the white pith floats. You can also cut in half and tap the back with a spoon to release seeds.
How long do pomegranates last?
Whole pomegranates last 1-2 weeks at room temperature or up to 2 months refrigerated. Once opened, store seeds in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Seeds can also be frozen for several months.
What are the health benefits of pomegranate?
Pomegranates are antioxidant powerhouses with 3x more antioxidants than green tea. They contain punicalagins (unique to pomegranate), support heart health, have anti-inflammatory properties, and may help with memory and exercise performance.
