the best way is to roll the fruit until the seeds have been broken on the inside (you can actually hear them snapping) then make a little cut and suck the juice out……when your done you can open the fruit and there are still seeds that have not been crushed but you don’t have a big mess.

I just tried the “hit-it-with-a-spoon” method. It didn’t work for me at all! I cut the pom in half, held it over a bowl and tapped the back with a spoon. I ranged from soft taps to flat out walloping the thing and only a few seeds fell out. Is there something I’m missing?

I’ve heard about this way to peel pomegranates before but I’ve never tried it. For some reason it just seems more work to me to fill a bowl with water, strain out the seeds and other stuff rather than clean the kitchen

As a couple of people mentioned, tapping a half cut pom with a spoon or a small sized scoop ladle works way better than this.

When you put the pulp in the water and drain it away, a good % of the nutrients will also get washed away in the water (No solid reference though, but i have heard/read). It is a common practice to wash fruits and vegetables well before cutting them and one good reason is this.

good idea – but fails on the best part – the wonderful juice when you (accidentally) crush the little seeds (which i end up spittin’ out anyways). Also, hate to say this, but the best part of this fruit is taking it apart. It’s cool the way the little seed cling to the membrane – it’s like your operating on some alien’s brain…lol
