How do you remove the seeds from a pomegranate?
While there are many ways to de-seed a pomegranate, our favorite trick is the "Wooden Spoon" method.
- Start by slicing a slit around the perimeter of the pomegranate.
- Gently open the pomegranate. Note: Pomegranate juice can stain, so be prepared for clean up.
- Put the fleshy part in the palm of your hand and hold it over a large bowl.
- Firmly smack the pomegranate with a wooden spoon. You'll feel the seeds plop into your hand.
- Once the seeds are out, place them in a bowl of water. Any extra white fleshy that fell into the bowl will rise to the top of the water and you can skim it out.
- Drain excess water and — voilà! — seeds are ready to eat!
