Ingredients
- 1 pomegranate
- water
Instructions
- Slice the fruit into fourths with a sharp knife. Set aside.
- Fill a large bowl with cold water.
- Place one of the pomegranate pieces into the water. Gently spread it open. Gently wiggle out the seeds with your fingers. Be gentle not to burst the juice out. However, if it does, it will just squirt into the water and not onto you!
- Drain the pink water and give the pomegranate seeds a good rinse. Stain-free pomegranate seeds are the final result.
- Enjoy alone, use as a garnish for baked chicken, sauteed green beans, or tossed into salads.
