How to make a deconstructed pomegranate smoothie.. the right way!

Pomegranates are gods gift but I can assure you there are better ways of getting into them hahaha

When you leave your kid alone for 2 seconds .

Pro tip. Next time do that with a bowl underneath. There's actually a way to make a cut and peel it apart too. Much cleaner method

[AmaryInkawult]

I'm always fascinated that this fruit has such beautiful jewel like seeds

about 2-3 years ago I finally saw a video on the best way to open up a pomegranate:

1) take a sharp paring knife and cut around the top stem, just low enough into the very top of the body of the fruit, so you can cut out the stem completely, exposing the pips inside without cutting into them.

2) locate the major radial veins, they're pretty easy to see, but it takes a little practice, there should usually be 5 or 6 of them.

3) make shallow slices into the skin, from the top to the bottom, along the lines of the radial veins, (usually about 6, but sometimes 5), just deep enough to separate the surface of the skin on either side of the interior radial veins, but not deep enough to cut into the body of the fruit and damage the pips inside. It doesn't have to be perfect, but get as close as you can, and try not to let your knife stray into the body of the fruit.

4) grasp the fruit with both hands, so that your thumbs are on the top opening where the stem used to be, and gently pull it apart.

You may want to do this over a large bowl, as many pips will pop out.
It's also good to actually pry it open upside down, so the pips that do pop out will land more easily in the bowl.

It will open like a flower into the separated segments, and the central bottom section will be exposed.

you can gently tear the sections apart and set them aside for harvesting the pips.

I've been eating pomegranate since I was a child, it's one of my all time favorite foods, and this was the easiest, fastest, and cleanest method I've ever found for harvesting the edible bits inside.

I recently bought my first pomegranates! They taste like sweet/sour cherries, I love them!

[benireges]

I appreciate u introducing us to different fruits everyday. Its always a pleasure having ur videos pop up in my feed. I may not agree with the raw vegan lifestyle but theres no doubt i need to consume more fruit and ur videos encourage me to do that!

My personal favorite way is cutting in half, fully submerge the halves in water, and break it up by hand

[goyashy]

The minute he cut it open, he knew there was no going back 😂

[travisreich]

I am obsessed with pomegranates! I can eat like 4 or 5 a day they are so good especially when you get a really sweet one!

[philhagls]

I cut the bottom and top of, slice the sides vertically. Then submerge in bowl of water and take the pods out with my hands while submerged so no mess at all.

[lonelydevil]

He is so wholesome we must protect him at all costs.

[pebs]

It's a joke, right? The pomegranates are opened by making four cuts in the skin from one pole to the other and gently opening with the hands. In this way the cloves separate offering all the seeds that can be gently detached from the white part without breaking them.

[krazykdon]

Bowl of water soak them.. hit with back of the spoon.. works better and doesn't stain your hands.

[mvlad]

I _LITERALLY_ don't eat pomegranate (though I love it) because peeling it is just TOO much work. Thanks for the great tip! 👍 😊

[organicgrow]

I prefer to open it social media style I can put the whole sections in my mouth with no mess at all, your style is good for large quantity making Debas Ruman. It also depends on the variety of fruit, the podded sections vary.

[yacinebek]

everyone in my family saw this trick on social media and kept insiting it was good, i always tell them that it makes the biggest mess ever

[stayglitteryqueen]

Oh yeah that's how you do it! You have a good variety of pomegranate too, the ones that are sweet and sour are the best, the sweet watery ones I don't like very much, they're only okay mixed with orange.
