TwilightTide32+FollowThree Ways to Open Pomegranates Without Making a MessOpening pomegranates doesn't have to be a disaster zone situation. Here are the methods that actually work: Roll and slice method: Roll the pomegranate on your cutting board first to loosen everything up. Cut off the top, then make shallow cuts along the natural ridges. Pull it apart into sections. Water bowl technique: Cut the pomegranate in half, then submerge both pieces in a bowl of water. Use your fingers to nudge the seeds loose - they'll sink while the white pith floats. Wooden spoon approach: Cut in half, hold one piece seed-side down over a bowl, and tap the back with a wooden spoon. The seeds fall right out. Pro tip: Wear gloves and use a plastic cutting board because pomegranate juice stains everything it touches. Trust me on this one. #pomegranate #kitchentips #fruitprep #Food #Cooking20Share
MoonShadow8+FollowPomegranate Seeds: The Easy Way to Get Them OutCut off the top of your pomegranate to reveal the inside. Toss the top—trust me, you don’t want to eat that bitter rind. Rinse the whole fruit under running water to clean it up. Look for the ridges inside and score the skin from top to bottom along those lines. Don’t cut all the way through! Submerge the pomegranate in a bowl of cold water. Break it apart with your hands. The seeds sink, and the white membrane floats. Push the seeds out with your fingers. Scoop out any floating membrane and strain the seeds. Eat the seeds as a snack, toss them on oatmeal, or sprinkle them on salads. They’re juicy, crunchy, and add a pop of color to any dish. If you want, juice them for a sweet, tart drink. Super easy and totally worth it! #Pomegranate #FruitHacks #HealthySnacks #Food00Share
