True Middle-Eastern or Caucasian (narsharab) pomegranate molasses are
nothing like grenadine, for they contain no added sugar, nor any other
additions - they are pure concentrated pomegranate juice reduced to
syrupy consistency. They are only slightly sweet, usually. Anyway,
nowadays, grenadine often enough contains no pomegranate juice at all,
but an obscene amount of sugar and a lot of other things.
