How-to Eat a Pomegranate


Pomegranates can be tedious to eat if you don't know how to remove the seeds all at once. While most people cut the pomegranate in half and pick the seeds out one by one, this is time-consuming and messy. The step below will guide you on how to efficiently and effectively separate the seeds from the pith.

1. Cut the stem off the pomegranate.

2. Slice the skin into segments without cutting all the way through the fruit.

3. Place the pomegranate in a bowl of water and let it soak for about ten minutes.

4. After the fruit has soaked, break open the sections and agitate the seeds. The seeds will sink to the bottom while the white pith will float.

5. Remove the pith from the bowl and send the seeds through a strainer.
Now you have a bowl full of beautiful pomegranate seeds, and nothing else.
