Instructions for Preparing a Pomegranate

  1. Cutting the Crown: Slice off the crown (top) of the pomegranate.
  2. Scoring the Skin: Gently score the skin in quarters from top to bottom, being careful not to cut too deep into the seeds.
  3. Opening the Pomegranate: Gently pull apart the pomegranate into quarters along the scored lines.
  4. Releasing the Seeds: Over a bowl of water, use your fingers to gently separate the seeds from the membrane. The seeds will sink to the bottom, and the membrane will float.
  5. Collecting the Seeds: Skim off and discard the floating membrane. Drain the seeds and they’re ready to use.

Quick Bite: Pomegranates are known for their high content of antioxidants, particularly punicalagins and anthocyanins, which are responsible for their vibrant red color and offer various health benefits.
