So we run to the nearest supermarket, fearing to stain ourselves and the entire kitchen in the process of getting valuable grains.

On this topic:how to properly clean a pomegranate + video!

Despite the fact that the inside of the pomegranate is edible, we wash the fruit well before peeling.

Method one: divide the fruit into parts

In the upper part of the fruit, we make a circular incision, a kind of a kind of hat, but not through and through, but only by cutting off the peel itself. Carefully remove the resulting cap. Now you need to make longitudinal cuts, but not somewhere, but in special places. We look carefully: the garnet is divided into segments by thin white partitions. So, you need to cut the skin just above them. This will not damage the grains and not get dirty with juice.

It is imperative to "take off the cap", otherwise you will not see where to cut. We cut, not reaching the end.

The next step will be to divide the pomegranate into parts: insert the knife into the core itself, slightly scroll and, as it were, open the fruit. That's all - not a single grain was harmed, at most, some may spill out.

Method two: get the grains right away

If you are reluctant to mess with the slices, choosing grains from them, you can simplify this procedure. The beginning of the process is similar:

• cut off the lid;
• make side cuts.

And now the most interesting thing: we take a deep bowl and an ordinary tablespoon. We hold the pomegranate over a bowl (cut down) and knock on the sides of the fruit with a spoon, knocking out the seeds. To prevent juice splashing in different directions, we try not to raise the fruit above the walls of the dishes.

Method three: the grains are whole, the hands are clean

As you know, in addition to useful properties, pomegranate juice has one not very pleasant feature: after contact with it, the skin of the hands acquires a persistent yellow color. To keep your hands clean, cut the fruit in water, namely:

• cut off the top again;
• lower the pomegranate into a pot of water;
• we break it in half, taking it by the sides and resting our fingers in the center of the fruit;
• select the grains directly in the pan.

It remains to select pieces of film and peel from the water and strain the seeds.

Choose the way you like and enjoy the exotic fruit.
