And the pre-peeled containers for 4x the price are a ripoff

  • cut off the top and bottom
  • on the bottom, look for the pith lines, usually 5 of them. Cut down from there all the way to the bottom, so that you have 5 slices. Remember your affirmations, you don’t have to be perfect even if everyone wants you to be. If you’re a pro you can not cut all the way through to the top and simply starfish it out
  • Take a slice and a wooden spoon. Beat the ever living daylights out of the back of the slice, the delicious rubies will go flying everywhere…hopefully into the bowl you put underneath where you’re thwacking. Or, if you don’t have an anger management disorder, just tap the backs gently, ymmv.

    I saw a friend do this and I was so impressed. Although she didn't beat the slices.

    Tangentially, the bowl of pomegranate seeds was for snacking on during a movie. I found it hilarious because it felt like it was middle class popcorn (I grew up super poor, and pomegranate was one of the many foods I didn't try until university)

    I mean I want there to be an easier way than “peel underwater” but every time I see a life hack that just rehashes that method, I’m glad to know I haven’t been wasting my time.

    I find this method easier and no water involved. To each their own though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U4X9uh-sZ4

    Did…are you a bot? The last step in the video is literally putting the seeds in the bowl and scooping out flesh with a spoon. I guess this is “waterless” if the goal is not getting your hands wet with water (only pomegranate juice?)

    Anyway, I will still try waterless if I happen to open up pomegranate and it’s magically of the quality and peelability in the video.

    My pomegranate method is to cut the peel into quarters along the ~4 corners, and then I just bite into it and be okay with eating a lil bit of waxy stuff

    I’ll give this a try, but I know it won’t be compatible with wife.

    are pomegranates that unhealthy?

    No, pomegranates are actually very healthy. They're rich in polyphenols (a class of antioxidant), fiber, and a variety of micronutrients, and they have a low glycemic index.

    Full agreement. If they were of similar difficulty to an orange I'd be fucked
