Equipment

  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pomegranate, fresh

Instructions
 

  • Using a sharp knife and cutting board, place the pomegranate on its side, and remove the stem end. You’ll only have to cut off about ¼ to ½ an inch.
  • Using the same knife, remove the crown by making a thin slice right underneath where the crown sits.
  • Now that you have your pomegranate sitting upright on the flat stem end take a minute to notice how removing the crown revealed different segments of clustered seeds, separated by the membrane of the pomegranate.
  • While hovering over a bowl, carefully tear apart each outlined segment on the pomegranate.
  • Slowly pick apart the large clusters of seeds, and you’ll be pleased as punch to see how EASY they will fall right on out into your bowl
