Instructions

  1. Holding the pomegranate firmly on a cutting board, make a ¼ inch incision across the top part of the fruit on the stem side. Remove the top portion and discard.
  2. You'll notice the pomegranate is divided into four sections by the white pulp. Using the blade of the knife, carefully make an incision from the open part of the fruit following the pulp all the way to the bottom of the fruit. Repeat for the remaining sections.
  3. Use your hands to pull apart the four sections and remove the large pulp in the middle.
  4. Place the pomegranate in your hand and place it over a bowl with water with the seeds facing your palm. Using the back of a wooden spoon, tap the skin of the pomegranate until most of the seeds have fallen out. You’ll notice the pulp will float and the seeds will sink, which helps separate them easily.
  5. Remove the remaining seeds by hand if needed, making sure to toss out the pulp.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any unused pomegranate seeds in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last up to five days. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
