The result is a sticky, chewy, ruby-brown seed with a concentrated sweet-tart flavor: fruity and sour, with a hint of earthy sweetness. It's a traditional souring agent in North Indian, Pakistani, and Persian cooking, used where you'd otherwise reach for tamarind, lemon, or amchur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKeeping the seeds whole preserves their flavor longer than pre-ground powder.
