Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pomegranate

Instructions

  1. Cut 1/4 inch from the top of the pomegranate to remove the crown and expose the arils. Remove the white middle part using a small sharp knife.
  2. You'll see that the pomegranate is divided by white pulps inside and subtle ridges on the outside. Using your knife, gently cut through the ridges, being careful to cut just the skin and not into the fruit, all the way from top to the bottom. You should have 5 or 6 cuts.
  3. Gently open the pomegranate using your fingers and open up the sections, you'll have 5-6 sections.
  4. Remove the pomegranate arils from the skin into a bowl using your fingers. Pick out any membranes that might have stuck to the arils.

Notes

  • Store the pomegranate arils in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. 
  • You can store whole pomegranates in the fridge for up to 1 month.
