Dude, I've just watched heaps of how-to de-seed/eat a pomegranate videos on here and this one is by far the coolest and most informative. Thanks!
Wow, I thought I new everything about cutting fruit, especially fruits like pineapple, kiwis & mangos! Pomegranates are one of my favorite fruits, but we always just take 'em outside to eat because they are so messy. This is a new technique and awesome! Thanks, Producer Picker!!!
Thank you! We need to come back to you every year for some reason, I always forget. :)
This worked like a charm. No mess in the kitchen and the seeds came out and fell to the bottom of the bowl, just as you said.
Excellent video. Very well done. Clear, concise and to the point.
Thank you for posting.
that's friggin amazing. I just spent 20 minutes digging seeds out - while they were still delicious I will definitely be using your method for the other 3 poms i bought
Thank you for posting this! I have never bought these before so I'm glad I saw this. Now I know what to do!
Thank you very much. I knew I liked pomegranate juice and I wanted my kids to enjoy the fruit. What a blessing to be able to enjoy it with them.
Thanx for the vid! I'm glad I watched this before attempting to open my pomegranate.
Thank you so much for posting this helpful video! I just wish that I had seen this video sooner before I made a mess in the kitchen...
Hey this was great thankyou very much. My mom and I have been struggling with them for years. We tried your trick . and it worked wonderfully. Thanks again.
Oh thank you so much for this video! I have a new obsession with pomegranate juice and smoothies. I was curious about the actual fruit and now that I know what to do with one, I will be making my own fresh fruit smoothies. :) Thanks again!
Thanks! Just bought my very first one today. Glad I found out about the juice staining stuff!
I just bought my first two pomegranates tonight and I looked this video up to see if there was a technique. Thanks man!
Awesome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you William for watching!
I love pomegranates! Can't wait till they are back in season, I've been looking everywhere for some!! i will def. try your method!
This is the best and only way to eat a pom!! Great job!!
Thanks! before putting through strainer, as the pith is floating in the water, you could pour it off before hitting the strainer. This would eliminate another cleaning.
Thank you so much for this informative video! Watcing this before I ever tried to open a pomegranate saved me a lot of trouble and juice stains. The only downside to this method is that any punctured pomegranate seeds get soggy and lose their taste. But otherwise great! Thanks
Thanx for the "how to" it worked perfectly and now eating yummy Pomegranate seeds. :)
the best one yet thanks for the tip!
I tried the underwater method this morning and it worked great. I still hate peeling them though, I want that goodness in me faster! One thing I did before pouring them into the strainer/colander was to pour some of the water into the sink so the floaty stuff poured out instead of with the seeds. Less of it to pick out later. Thanks for the video.
Woo! I just watched this and then opened my pomegranate. Very helpful, although I didn't put it into water... I just kind of popped all the seeds off by breaking up the membrane. I also exploded quite a few of them all over my shirt, arms, counter, floor, under the cabinets, and stained my cutting board. I'm eatin' pomegranate now... but I should've used your water technique! CHEERS!
Thanks, you make this difficult job much easier.
That's a lot of work but it's surely worth it!
Thank you all my life I was crushing it open and my mom would get soo mad because I stan every thing
Worked like a charm...thanks so much!!
cool, thanks for watching
I really wish I would have watched this before attempting to open it on my own!
The water bowl is an excellent method, I will certainly try it.
Ha my mom just bought me some of these, and this was actually very useful
this method is much better than the "professional fruit cutting video"
Thanx for the tutorial! I was freakin out earlier like "How am i supposed to eat this thing?!?" And it was yummy ^__^ nut the juice is turnin my hand pinky red lol
Well done, thanks!
I don't put juice in in, but I do use a spoon. With the crunching, it sure does remind me of eating cereal (but much more yummy!)
Getting ready to try, wish us luck!
@RVO174 Thank you for getting back to me, I have found a good place to buy some and I will this week :D can't wait to try it I have been wanting to for a while. great video :)
Can't wait to try this and them! First time buying one for Rosh Hashana.
Pro tip, instead of using a strainer to remove the white part you can actually add more water to the bowl after you are done breaking the pom apart. as the bowl overflows the white part will flow away with it
Thanks! it's really helpful
wow this makes it ssoooooo much easier! i used to peel it by hand and eat the seeds individialy whyle still inside the pulp
Hi zztopis,
You eat just the seeds. It's actually the juice sac that surrounds the seed that you want to eat but you can just pop the entire seed into your mouth and eat it. There should be more about this question in the other comments as well. Thanks!

cool trick with the water
Thank you. Simple!
@RVO174 no prob. thanks for letting me know that the legendary pomegranate was a fruit i have been eating for years called "Granada" and did not realize it was called as such in english :) pardon if my english writing is bad
Great info just bought a pomegranate for the first time didnt know how to cut the thing so found this site thanks for the info. How do you tell when they are ripe enough to eat?
I used to think that Vernors ginger ale was the nectar of the gods, but I was wrong. It's fresh squeezed pomegranate juice with no sugar or water added.
Sorry to sound ignorant, but I had no idea that it was the seeds you eat! Not similar to the grape, watermelon, orange :-) I just assumed it was the skin. I'd like to try it now because of your podcast. Thanx.
I'm going to do one of these types of videos on how to eat an apple:
Step 1 - wash the apple
Step 2 - use your teeth to remove sections from the core
Step 3 - continue until you are only holding an apple core
Step 4 - dispose of core
Optional step - watch people get 1/10th of the way through peeling a pomegranate as you eat the entire apple.
;)
@gamehead91 Actually, I prefer to eat the seeds; they're crunchy, add a nutty taste, and help add fiber to your diet. You also end up with no waste. :)
thank you!
My favourite fruit and it is very healthy too.
agree with 1983Jacko...too complicated. just cut it into 4, have a bowl underneath the quarter that you are taking the seeds from for them to fall into and throw the pith into the trash/sink.
@RVO174 no. chew them and swallow. it's safe and it helps with intestine circulation. all animals are supposed to eat seeds and poop them out. that's what they are for, actually.
i have that same mesh strainer.
Thanks!!
Thank you!
oh and i found it so funny the way u said "juice" ahaaha nice vid tho!
Genius!
thats how i open my poms! im eating one now yummm.
water lets the pith easily float up so you can skim it off if the seeds are all you're interested in. If you want the juice then you wouldn't use the water. Thanks for watching.
i tryed one of these b4 it was really good, had a bit to manny seeds and kinda makes your thought dry
How do you recommend storing the seeds? I was thinking just like sealed bag in the fridge?
@RVO174 Yes, they are delicious and not only have a nutty flavour but are high in protein and fibre and tons of extra vitamins!! Crunchy with a fruity twist! Nature meant them to be eaten.-
awsome
hmm iv been eating this fruit since i was 4 cause in my home yard there are 2 healthy trees of it, over here it is called Granada. (wich stands for granade fruit meaning pomegranate) :P i didn't know they were pomegranate cause i always called it granada. hehehe they say its very healthy and lots of health benefits, i usually crack it open with my hands put lots of the seeds in my mouth suck them dry then have fun with a straw shooting the seeds anywhere hehe.
Glad it worked. Thanks for watching!
of course, i watch this AFTER trying it the messy way.
it worked just fine but the pomegranate seeds were not like fully red they look see through does this mean the fruit is not mature to eat? should i have waited some more days?
I did it! Well not as accurate and fast as you, but that is a question of practice I think. ^_^ Thanks.
Thanks
UGGHHH took me like half an hour!! but was yummy :)
thanks
i am sad to say i dont use the water trick, it minimizes the amount of hand room, so you can break chunks off. i also do sections so i have organization...but mostly i fill a bowl with water after i get all the seeds in and wash em up. then i eat them while watching tv or whatever... THEY ARE DELICIOUS
Yet some would literally kill for it. Depends on each own's perspective.
I was hoping it would be like Fruit Ninja, and you slice it as many times as possible... then it explodes :P
That 2nd strainer is for steaming rice!!!
RVO174: Thank you for this video But you know i always have i bad luck when i go to market and buy some pomegranates i feel bad coz no one is red !!! please what can i do ?
@RVO174
Thank you for your advice
I will do that
d:
do more than four sections, split them and then unfold the skin of each section. you will finish much faster. water is not needed,
the healthiest fruit ever, one pommegranate equals to 10 oranges I think; something like that, I just wish they were less expensive in europe
they sell it here one pommegranate for 2 euro and more
and It's a small one
not like the those I have back home in Israel
Where can i get some of this fruit?
You made a whole 4 minute video about this when I just cut the pomegranate in fourths and peel out the seeds.
I live in Michigan. I looked for a pomegranate in aug. but produce worker said they were out of season. WHAT IS POMEGRANATE SEASON!>!?!
couldnt find a big enough bowl...i got juice all over the walls, on my shirt,in someones eye,and on the ceiling!
can you chew and swallow the seeds? I just bite the seeds and spit it out.
made my mouth water :((
i love pomgrante but i hate peeling it
For me, half of the enjoyment of eating a pomegranate is picking each seed out one at a time and popping it in my mouth!
@Ahmedkammona and it creates a big staining mess. This method shown is the ONLY way I'll ever do a pomeranate ever again!
pomegranate is just juice just smash it all the work is done for you :D
personnally, i dont cut the top and bottom off. i cut the crown off and score it like u did..
@RVO174 just uploaded.
those 'seeds' you are talking about are called arils. the seed is inside the aril.
not being an ass or anything, i just cut the crown and bottom, then remove the pit thing on the top then crack it open, much easier and saves time
this fruit taste so good and to my ladies it helps you lose weight, if you want to...
isnt this from ehow or howcast or something???
maby iwants to gets messy carpets
Guess you'll just have to eat more;) Practice makes perfect. Sounds like a great way to practice. Thanks for watching!
@RVO174 a blunt knife has a greater potential for injury, be safe :)
