Foodie fact: How to Eat a pomegranate

I almost forgot. Just in case I didn't scare you away from eating pomegranate, it'd be good to know an easy way to eat them. I usually enjoy just breaking them apart and going from there, but if you're using them in dessert or salads, it's nice to know how to just get it over with.

It pretty simple really.



1. Cut off the crown so you can see the seeds. (like cutting off the top of an onion)
2. score the sides of the fruit, but don't cut all the way through (like cutting an orange)
3. The the pom in a bowl of cold water, and wait a couple minutes
4. Break apart the sections and separate the seeds from the membrane. *If you do this in the bowl the seeds will sink to the bottom and the membrane and rind will float.
5. Remove rind and membrane and strain seeds.


Pomegranates are really good for your heart! For those in the North they are in season from: Sept-Feb
in the South from: March-May
