An archaic or variant spelling of pomegranate, used in historical botanical and culinary texts.
From Spanish 'granado' (pomegranate tree), derived from 'grano' (grain), referring to the fruit's many seed-like arils; represents an older form of the name.
Medieval European texts often refer to 'granado' when describing luxury fruits and medicines—the pomegranate's many seeds made it symbolically important, appearing in art and literature as a sign of abundance.
