In late summer and early fall, there is a whole new group of fresh produce available to us. From the end of September throughout February there’s a fruit that I really enjoy cooking with and it is Pomegranate!
Pomegranate is a great source of fiber plus vitamin C, K and folate. Unfortunately many of you would restrain yourself from buying it because it is quite messy to handle unless you know a little trick…
Here is how to seed a pomegranate without the mess…
Carefully cut your pomegranate in half over some paper towel – if you rush, you might splash some of its juice on you. Transfer the fruit to a bowl filled with water. Break the membranes by pushing from the outside to help release the seeds and gently pull the seeds out by scraping them with your fingers.
When this step is done, the pomegranate seeds will be at the bottom of the bowl and most of the white membrane will be floating on the surface so remove and discard it. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the seeds into a bowl and proceed with your recipe.
Using this method, there’s no need to wear black clothes or a rubber apron when prepping this lovely fruit. Also you won’t have to clean your kitchen from the juice splashing all over the place.
Now you know how to seed a pomegranate without the mess. It’s fast and efficient with “clean” results! Next time you are at your supermarket and see those beautiful pomegranates, there’s no need to be afraid of buying them with this simple kitchen trick!
