body here now i'm going to show you how to cut the pomegranate and open and how
to make the best of it and get all ,the ,seeds ,about it here.
you're going to take your pomegranate and this side right
here is t he site where the plant will bloom so this is where the flower
,actually ,came ,from ,the ,pomegranate. the other side was the stem where the
pomegranate was connected to the tree.so get your knife and around the top of
the bloom part this right here we're going to cut around.
around the crown of it
just like that kind of go around. all the way around a circle just like that. not
so deep in there but just around enough .to to ,get ,in .there.so you can get
your fingers up under there. now once we done that you gonna take the top. and
,you're ,just gonna.
pluck it off. just ,like that.and you can see the seeds in
.there.i'm going to go around here just a .little.just ,a ,little more.so you
can kind of see some of the ridges in here and ,we ,see ,is .exploding.just how
,i mentioned .how.the pomegranate and the grenade gets its name from the
pomegranate because of the exploding of it. but when ,you do .that.
you'll notice that all pomegranates have these ridges around
here there's about five ridges so the next step. is around each rich you'll
actually see like the rich separates the sections but around each rich. you're
going to slightly. go down it's ,the ,next ridge. slightly go down five
different sections slightly go down and here's the next one.
we're going to go down.so now we went down each section of
the pomegranate and then once you have it like that you're just gonna. crack it
open.just ,like that.i have one i done earlier i cracked open.and here's the
next one i just follow apart but this piece this membrane just pull that out. just
,like that.
and now we have it like this but i want to get all these
seeds out so i'm going to show you an easy way to get the seeds out grab a bowl
i'm just going to get a bowl that way.my seeds are not flying all over the
place. i'm going to get a bowl and i'm going to get a spoon.
preferably a wooden spoon kind of works better. just put it
over like this and you're going to hit it hit ,the pomegranate. and the seas
are gonna come falling out. and this is where the bowl comes in handy. because.
therwise you'll have a big mess going on. so look at it seeds are out. seas
,are ,basically out. i have this other one i'm going to do the same thing this
is a bigger pomegranate ,has ,a lot more seeds.
but i'm just going to smack this one. ver my bowl. it would
be good to wear an apron. that way the splatter. doesn't get all over .you. but
these seas are flying everywhere now i understand why the french um.that word
grenade comes from pomegranate. cause it's it it truly is an exploding fruit look.
take a look at that seeds are out so now if you look at the
bow you'll see all my seeds in here but you see these membrane ,pieces ,the
white pieces. we really don't want to eat those we just want to see so i'm
going to show you an easy way to separate these ,white ,pieces ,from ,the
seeds. it gets you so you can just take this bowl run some water in it i got my
cup of water.
just going to pour. now when you look in see how. the
membrane pieces float to the top and you can just skim off. all ,of that. you
can put that away somewhere in a trash. to skim all that away.
all right so once you've removed the majority of those what we're gonna do now we're just going to pour out the water okay as you can see we pour it out the water. and now you're left with all these delicious pomegranate seeds. get you a spoon use your hand how do you want to do it uh put these in a juice ,or get the juice. it's up to you but i love to put these in a bowl and i get a spoon and i just jump away oh. it's so good i hope you enjoyed this read this article and i also hope you enjoy learning about the many benefits of the pomegranate .remember.
