How to: The Super Simple Way to Remove Pomegranate Seeds by Jason:

I’ve seen everything from soaking them in water to picking each seed individually by hand - nonsense! 

There is an incredibly easy way to clean them and all you need are 2 kitchen items: a bowl & a wooden spoon. (Please don’t cut it & soak in water - it washes out the taste of this beautiful bright fruit)

1. Cut the pomegranate in half or if its very large into quarters.

2. Place the pom in your hand - skin side up, seeds down with your fingers spread so the seeds can fall through.
3. Now beat the skin with the pomegranate with the wooden spoon.  Seeds & juice will fall into the bowl - a bit of the white pith might drop out as well - just pick it out & discard.
