Notes
- Recipe courtesy of Pomegranate Council
To remove seeds from pomengranates, follow this simple 3-Step No-Mess Process:
- Cut off crown, then cut pomegranate into sections.
- Place sections in a bowl of water, then roll out arils (juice sacs) with your fingers. Discard everything else.
- Strain out water. Eat arils whole, seeds and all, or use in a recipe.
