Deseed a pomegranate
![Deseed a Pomegranate illustration: this 5-stage process shows how to separate the seeds from within a pomegranate using the back of a spoon and a bowl of water.](https://images.prismic.io/sketchplanations/d359f97f-a196-4409-915c-899aeb38b5f4_186759179861.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=max&w=3840&q=50)
If you like pomegranate but are put off by the prospect of the effort of pulling out each individual seed and spraying pomegranate juice across the kitchen, then this is a fun and handy tip.
It brings together two techniques:
- a bowl of water helps stop spraying when pulling them apart and naturally separates the light fluffy pith from the seeds, and
- whacking them on the back with a spoon is a surprisingly effective and fun way of making the seeds shoot out.
Enjoy!
