Loved the technique. My Grandmother a native of SW Florida had acres of every fruit species & florals you could grow in that tropical climate. She used any water from the final step to make a wonderful tea. In today's trends you could use it in salad dressings, smoothies..just don't pour it on your plants because it's packed full of antioxidants & vitamins. She made passion fruit teas & jam/sauces for ice cream or vanilla pannacota. Mango sorbet, mango jam/sauces. Guava jam was my favorite & Guava tea. There were Mulberry, homegrown strawberries & acres of citrus groves. Key lime cake or pie, breads, cookies. Thomas Edison was a neighbor & they traded Orchids & stories. I miss her & the paradise she created from scratch to support her six children following my Grandfathers early death. She was an amazing woman. She'd.take me wading thru the Everglades Cypress Swamps looking for wild orchids, staghorn ferns, & air plants. She & her second husband would make furniture from Cypress knees that was so beautiful. Thanks for triggering those memories.

What a great story. Your mother was an amazing woman. Thank you for telling your story and sharing the other information of what you can do with the pomegranate water. The gentleman that provided this video mentioned not to waste the left over water and to use it to water your plants. I’m sure you caught that in the video, but I was very impressed with his recommendation. I try to read a few replies and I’m glad I got to read yours. What a great life you had and now you can do those things with your children and grandchildren too. ❤️

I watched this video a week ago or so. Tonight I actually tried this and it was so much quicker than the way I normally do it. I had my pomegranate cleaned out in a few minutes. Thank you so much for sharing this! 😊

I tried this last night and it worked pretty well. My pomegranate sections weren't nearly as well defined, so it was more time intensive. But, much easier than other methods. A large deep bowl is key to keeping the mess confined.

Ignore all naysayers. It was a perfect video for someone who knows 0 about pomegranates. So thank you very very much and it was not one second too long.

I have performed the wooden spatula method before, but I am grateful to see how you cut the cap off of it and cut only so far down allowing so many arils to fall out with that. I really like how you teach and are so detailed. Thank you.

There is ALOT of pomegranates here in Mexico. Surprising how you use almost the same technique as we mexicans do! I would greatly recommend trying out pomegranates to the ones that haven't tried it because they are very delicious 😁👍.

Thank you so much your video is fantastic I'm running to the store today to get some pomegranates.

@@italwaysmatters1017 Typcially you put the whole thing in your mouth, or in a salad and crunch up the juice and seeds and swallow it all.

Now I can remember this technique from year to year. Your explanation of finding the blossom end was key for me. I’m glad your channel popped up on my KZread home page.

Thank you! That was awesome. I've seen other videos that show this sort of method but sometimes seem to cut off the cap at the other end (more messy) and most importantly you explained how - WHERE- to score the skin so as not to cut through the middle of the "pod" which holds the kernels of the fruit. In other words, that beginning part explaining the anatomy of the pomegranate was very helpful. Great tutorial video.

Been eating them for 60 years , I love them and your the best at doing what you do, thanks

Thank you. Pomegranates were mysteries to me. I am making a winter salad tomorrow and it is clear that the pomegranate seeds are the star of it. I bought some already processed seeds but, in case I didn’t have enough, I also bought a pomegranate. I have measured and I do have enough seeds so now I can try this technique but without anxiety! Thank you for such a clear demonstration.

Chris, glad we were able to help. Some people want only the technique and no surrounding knowledge, but we take the approach of backstory and "edutainment." Thanks for the kind words and taking time to write. Best Regards, DFJ

Absolutely amazing! I thought I had it down pretty good and was doing pretty much what you did right up to the point where you used the spoon. But past that point I used considerable time manipulating the seeds on out. If you reverse the compound curvature (turn the spheroid inside out, manipulation goes pretty fast but not remotely as fast as just hitting it with a spoon! I suspect that the success of hitting with a spoon to knock them all the way out is dependent on the right stage of ripeness but that's what you really want to get anyway. What I've always done to reduce the price is to wait until the price is minimal not because they're already too ripe, but because there are so many on the market and then buy a couple of cases, process them as you've done, and freeze it. Farmer's markets or a good Chinese markets have been the best places to get good prices in my area. You should get a discount by buying them by the case. Thanks for the excellent demonstration!

I freeze them whole. Some of the best nutrition is in the seeds I kind of imagine why anyone would just want to squeeze out the juice.

This was sooo helpful thanks so much! I have never cut a Pomegranate and didn't know where to start. Very easy to follow and worked perfectly!

Thank you so much for that. I have always loved the fruit but hesitated buying thinking about the messy cutting involved. I opened one today and was so happy that I got all the seeds with absolutely no juicy mess. Was sooooo easy 😱. Took less than five minutes to open and deseed. Will buy more today. Thank you again🙏🏽.
