The Saudi Arabian food industry is one of the fastest-growing in the Middle East — and so is the demand for authentic, high-quality pomegranate molasses. Whether it’s used in traditional Hejazi cuisine, modern fusion restaurants in Riyadh and Jeddah, or sold in gourmet shops and hypermarkets like Danube and Tamimi, Iranian pomegranate molasses is becoming a high-demand product.

In this article, we guide food importers, distributors, and wholesale buyers on how to source Iranian molasses in bulk, the current wholesale pricing, and how to navigate Saudi import regulations.

Why Iranian Pomegranate Molasses is Popular in Saudi Arabia?

Iranian pomegranate molasses is known for:

•    Deep natural color and rich tangy flavor

•    No added sugar or preservatives

•    Ideal for kabsa, salads, BBQ marinades, and Levantine appetizers

As Saudi Arabia embraces natural and clean-label products, pomegranate molasses fits perfectly with Halal standards, organic trends, and Saudi Vision 2030’s food security goals.
