A lot is known about the beneficial properties of pomegranate. It contains many vitamins and is often recommended for people with anemia. This fruit often becomes a decoration of the festive table. Quite often, it remains intact simply because guests do not really know how to clean it properly. The owners did not bother to serve the pomegranate in the form of juicy crimson seeds sparkling on a platter.
It is necessary
- - Garnet:
- - a sharp knife;
- - a tablespoon;
- - a deep bowl or saucepan;
- - an apron.
Instructions
Step 1
It is not always possible to determine in advance how juicy the purchased pomegranate will be. It is possible that crimson juice will sprinkle from it in all directions, and then it will be quite problematic to wipe off the stains. So put on an apron first.
Step 2
Examine the pomegranate. On the one hand, it has a stalk, or at least the place where it once was. Cut the top off this side as you would normally when cutting a watermelon. It should appear crimson grains, separated by white membranes.
Step 3
In pomegranate, like most fruits with a large number of grains, membranes divide the fruit into several internal cavities. Make incisions where these membranes have adhered to the skin. They should go perpendicular to the already cut plane.
Step 4
Place the pomegranate in a deep bowl. Take a tablespoon. Tap it all over the peel. Even if you hit hard enough, nothing will happen to the seeds. A knife handle can be used instead of a spoon if it is strong enough.
Step 5
After such a procedure, you will not have to mess around for a long time choosing the peel. After you remove it, only grains will remain in the bowl, which look attractive enough to be served immediately.
Step 6
You can do without tapping at all. In the same way as in the first case, cut off part of the fruit from the side of the stalk. Then cut the pomegranate into pieces along the white veins. The kernels from the cut pomegranate are removed instantly, and no dark spots remain on the fingers.
