Should I eat the seeds or drink the rind?

Eat the fresh seeds. Rind tea is optional, mild, and not a treatment.

Does anar rind stop loose motions?

No. This page does not use rind as a cure. Ongoing loose motions need a doctor, especially in a child.

How much fruit is a serving?

A handful of seeds, about a small bowl. Not the juice of several fruits.

Anar Benefits and Uses as Fresh Fruit

Anar is best as a handful of fresh pomegranate seeds. A mild rind tea is optional and is not a treatment. Eat the fruit, do not build a cure around the peel.

Anar benefits and uses as fruit first

The useful part in the kitchen is the seed. A small bowl, eaten as fruit, is the guide. Rock salt or a few mint leaves can sit on top if you like a tangy bite after a meal. Juice from several fruits in one glass is a different, sweeter drink and not the point here.

Dried rind can colour a mild cup of tea, and that cup is optional. It is not a cure for loose motions, ulcers, or anything else. Use a small piece, steep it briefly, and stop. Do not boil a pile of peel into a dark medicine.

Ingredients

A handful of fresh pomegranate seeds
A pinch of rock salt, optional
A few mint leaves, optional
A small piece of dried rind, only if you make the optional tea

How to prepare

Break the fruit open and loosen the seeds into a bowl. Discard the white pith if you do not enjoy it.
For the optional tea, simmer one small piece of dried rind in a cup of water for five minutes and strain.

How to use

Eat one small bowl of seeds as fruit, with a meal or as an afternoon bite.
If you use salt or mint, keep both as a light sprinkle.
If you drink the rind tea, one mild cup is the limit, and it is still not a treatment.

Helpful habits

Seeds from one fruit keep well for a day in the fridge. They do not need to become juice.
Stain-prone rind should stay off cloth and marble while you cut.

Precautions

Pomegranate rind tea is optional and is not a cure or a treatment for diarrhoea or any other illness.
Do not give strong rind decoctions to children.
The fruit is food. A glass of concentrated juice is not a stronger medicine.
