Method
- Prepare your area by laying down parchment paper or newspaper on your cutting board to catch any juice splatters.
- Slice off the crown of the pomegranate to access the seeds easily.
- Lightly score the outer skin with four to six vertical cuts without cutting all the way through.
- Submerge the scored pomegranate in the bowl of cold water to minimize splatters.
- While the fruit is submerged, gently pull apart the sections with your fingers.
- Once all seeds are removed, lift out the pith and debris. Use a sieve to drain the seeds at the bottom.
- Rinse the seeds gently, then spread them on a towel to dry. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
Patience is key when seeding pomegranates. Taking your time results in a tidier kitchen and beautiful seeds.
