LOSE ALL THE JUICE AND A BIG FUCKING MESS

I've no idea. They are just absolute bastards.

I'd consider scooping the guts into a blender or juicer and straining off the seeds or something.

Food processor. When I lived in Mexico though we just ate them straight off the tree and no fucks were given.

>> No.5031181

okay, this takes a fair amount of not being an idiot.

cut the flower end off. this is the top. don't go too far down or you'll cut into the tasty morsels and lose your precious joose. take a paring knife and lightly score down the 5 ridges that you'll notice around the fruit. finally break the pomegranate apart along these score lines, it'll come apart quite easily. use your hands to knock the seeds out into a bowl.

How the hell are you making a mess peeling it under water? It's by far the easiest way to do it. Carve a quick X with a paring knife, hold under bowl of water, crack open, scrape out seeds. Trash floats to top, deliciousness sinks to bottom. I used to have to open a ton of these daily for my restaurant, and I could fly through one in <30 seconds doing it that way.

cut it in half, and break out all the seeds under water. the seeds will seperate from the rest of the stuff and wont make as big of a mess.

Cut in quarters getting red juice on everything.

Eat with fingers as juice drips down your chin and onto your lap or the table.

Spit out seeds or w.e. you call em.

Stretch it, but don't break the skin
Put it over a large bowl and hit the back with a wooden spoon

You're fucking welcome

>> No.5032059

I just cut them in half and smack them with a wooden spoon. I think I saw it from a Jamie Oliver episode, not sure.

You can get all the seeds out of a pomegranate in under a couple minutes. Just do it over a bowl and wash your hands afterward.

>> No.5033108

Cut it into quarters. Place the quarters in a relatively large bowl. Gnaw away until all pieces of murder corn have been expended. The water method is a huge mess and a complete waste of time unless you need the seeds for a salad or whatever.

>diverticulitis
>Foods such as seeds, nuts, and corn were, in the past, thought by many health care professionals to possibly aggravate diverticulitis.[4] However, recent studies have found no evidence that suggests the avoidance of nuts and seeds prevents the progression of diverticulosis to an acute case of diverticulitis.[5] Not only has this research shown that they do not appear to be aggravating the diverticulitis, but it appears that a higher intake of nuts and corn could in fact help to avoid diverticulitis in adult males.[5]

use a bigger bowl. a very big bowl filled only to half with enough water to cover the damn thing by about a inch.

Cut less. Just press the knife half way down the pom, then remove knife rinse pomegranate, break apart with hands.

The pomegranate is native to my country, so with great conviction and pretentiousness, I'm telling you that this guy is doing it right

>>5031360

Except you should do it over a large bowl.

>scalp
>make 3-5 curved cuts coming down from the north pole
>pull apart without crushing

The last step requires patience, good grip, and a good sense of distributing force in the right places over the right amount of time.

This will carry on when you want to break apart the fragments even further to get to the insides and when you want to take the seeds themselves out.
