Pomegranate molasses, also known as narsharab (Azerbaijani: narşarab), dibs ar-rumman (Arabic: دِبْس الرُّمَّان), robb-e anâr (Persian: رب انار), melása rodioú (Greek: μελάσα ροδιού, "pomegranate syrup"), nar ekshisi (Turkish: nar ekşisi, "pomegranate sour"), Armenian: նարշարապ; Persian: نارشارَب, "pomegranate wine"),[1] and nuri matsuk (Armenian: նուռի մածուկ, "pomegranate syrup")[2] is a Middle Eastern, Caucasian and Balkan condiment consisting of concentrated pomegranate juice. It is usually used in fish and meat dishes, and also as a dressing in salads.[3]
Etymology
The word narsharab (narşərab), from Persian: انارشراب, romanized: (a)nârsharâb, literally means pomegranate wine, although it contains no alcohol. It contains 10% citric acid sugar. Dishes get a light sour taste because of narsharab.[4][5]
