Ingredients
Pomegranate
Instructions
- Wash and dry your pomegranate with a paper towel.
- To cut the pomegranate, first, make a circle around the crown and gently cut it off, exposing the seeds.
- Then vertically from the top (crown) to the bottom, make four – six vertical lines on the veins. Do no cut deep into the skin when creating these lines; closely follow the vein lines and cut only the skin. Avoid cutting into the seeds, if not the juice will burst.
- Using your hands, pull the arils (seeds) away from the thick white membrane; this little force helps the pomegranate seeds release and then fall out. I love doing this, it is so soothing. Make sure to have a plate/bowl to contain and prevent it from falling everywhere.
- Add all the seeds to a bowl of water; the remaining white membrane will float, remove them, Then rinse the pomegranate seeds, and add to a clean plate.
- Store in the fridge for a couple of days; freeze if you wish to store pomegranate seeds for longer. (Make sure to check the video below to see how easy it is to cut/open a pomegranate).
Notes
Pomegranate seeds can stain, so be careful not to allow them to burst everywhere.
