Pomegranate Seeds: The Easy Way to Get Them Out

Cut off the top of your pomegranate to reveal the inside. Toss the top—trust me, you don’t want to eat that bitter rind. Rinse the whole fruit under running water to clean it up. Look for the ridges inside and score the skin from top to bottom along those lines. Don’t cut all the way through! Submerge the pomegranate in a bowl of cold water. Break it apart with your hands. The seeds sink, and the white membrane floats. Push the seeds out with your fingers. Scoop out any floating membrane and strain the seeds. Eat the seeds as a snack, toss them on oatmeal, or sprinkle them on salads. They’re juicy, crunchy, and add a pop of color to any dish. If you want, juice them for a sweet, tart drink. Super easy and totally worth it! #Pomegranate #FruitHacks #HealthySnacks #Food
