Why I love pomegranate<\/h1>\n

Fresh pomegranate is one of my favorite things. It’s a rather odd experience to peel and eat one. The texture of the fleshy seeds looks like bright red corn, tastes like grapefruit. and crunches like granola. It’s delectable and sweet, with interesting texture, and a refreshing finish. getting the seeds out for someone new to pomegranate can be frustrating. The first time I peeled my own, I simply cut it in half and quickly ruined my shirt with a bright red stain and I looked like I had murdered someone. I ate the seeds out of the pomegranate with a spoon, and chewed through the rather bitter pith. It’s not bad at all, but dampens the overall flavor, not to mention crushing many seeds unnecessarily. There’s a far better way:<\/p>\n

Peeling a pomegranate<\/h1>\n

Cut off the stem and the base of the pomegranate, cutting just into the seeds at the top and bottom of the fruit, and score the sides of the outer flesh, then break apart a few of the sections. Begin peeling apart the outer skin and pith from the seeds and separate the seeds and the pith into two bowls. A pomegranate yields about a cup of seeds, but you’ll want a wide mouth on your bowl for the inevitable jumpers. Taking apart a pomegranate is a little like exploring a dead beehive. The beautiful pith formations seem very much like a honeycomb to me. There’s a poem there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
