Kashmir Blend is a pomegranate introduced through the USDA and popularized in California, notable for its intensely flavored, aromatic juice that is prized in cooking. Rather than being eaten simply out of hand, it is especially valued for culinary use, including in Indian and Persian dishes and for making rich, complex pomegranate juice and sauces. The medium fruit has red skin and red arils with a strong, tangy flavor and higher acidity than dessert types. Its bold, concentrated taste distinguishes it from milder sweet varieties, and it has a following among cooks and juice enthusiasts seeking depth of flavor.
