How to deseed a pomegranate FAST without water

Pomegranates are awesome fruit that you should eat more often. Pomegranates have three times the anti-oxidant activity of red wine and green tea and they have anti-inflammatory and anticancer effe cts in the body. Especially for breast cancer (see here, here and here) and prostate cancer.

This study reported that 8 ounces of pomegranate juice per day prolonged the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time from a baseline of 15 months to 54 months post-PE treatment in hormone-naive non-metastatic patients with rising PSA after surgery or radiotherapy.

But getting them open is tricky…

The first time I ever bought a pomegranate, I was super pumped to get it home and eat it, but my excitement quickly waned after it took me forever to pick out all the seeds, and made a huge mess. Although it was delicious, I was disappointed by the hassle.

Months later, I was lamenting about this and someone told me to deseed it while holding it submerged in a bowl of water. I tried this technique and it worked beautifully, much faster and no mess. Huzzah! I boarded the pomegranate train and became a regular consumer.

But then I discovered an even better method…

So I shot a quick video to show how to deseed a pomegranate fast, without water and without making a mess. Enjoy!

Fun Fact: Pomegranate seeds are called arils!

After posting this video someone sent me a link to this sweet little Pomegranate Tool,
which uses the same technique I demonstrated.

Does that mean you can eat the littler white seeds that are inside the red seed pod things? I didn’t like the taste or crunch of the white middles and so squished them in my mouth and removed the white middles as I also didn’t have a blender or juicer.

Haha Chris! you’re a genius! now why didn’t I think of that… it looks so simple too.

I’m afraid I’ve been cheating & just buying it juiced – no mess! I’m just hoping it doesn’t lose any of it’s nutrients through processing..

Thanks for the info! x
