How to Seed a Pomegranate
Blog Post 1000
Today is my 1000th blog post! I am rather excited by the great magnitude of that number. It is a big bowl full of happy to know not only that I have shared with you 1000 times. But, that many of you have been reading what I have shared 1000 times! It is also a sweet surprise that this milestone is happening on Christmas week. ♥ During the holidays a lot of us are enjoying the delicious Christmas fruit, pomegranate. I used to eat a lot of these when I was young and I would have bright red stained fingers to prove it. Today I am sharing how I prepare a pomegranate for eating.
Thank you to my sweet hubby who took the how to photos so I could show you how I do it.
Before you begin put on an apron!
What you need- a deep bowl, paring knife,cutting board and a spoon or ladel
Score the skin all the way around the top of the blossom end and remove the “lid”.
Find the white membranes and score down each one all of the way around.
Gently pull apart and remove any large pieces of white membrane
Turn it over and with the open side facing down into a deep bowl, use the back of a spoon to tap the skin and the pomegranate seeds will start popping out into your bowl. Continue rotating the pomegranate in your hand and tapping until all of the seeds are out.
Pick out any of the white membrane that may have fallen in the bowl and taa daa.:-)
I like to eat the seeds by the spoonful. But, they are also a nice addition to yogurt, ice cream and to a green salad too.
I found some wonderful recipes using pomegranate on pinterest ( all images belong to their respective blogs and are linked back to their original source ) I hope you will join me on pinterest too.
Do you eat Pomegranates?
I love pomegranate this is good because sometimes it takes me forever and my hands get cold and red. Thanks for sharing.

I eat poms year round because I freeze the arils!

Congratulations on Post 1,000 Katie! Great achievement! My mom has eaten pomegranates but I have never eaten it. Now you make me want to try some. I hear it is also good for the health. Thanks for sharing on Creative Monday and Merry Christmas.
this couldn’t be more timely as I plan on seeding a pomegranate for a salad on christmas morning.

Dear Katherine,
Congratulations on your 1000th post! What an accomplishment…And thanks for the information on pomegranates. I’m intimidated by them and have to admit that I’ve never cut one. Now I think I can do it! Much love to you this holiday season…Aloha, Lori
Thanks for sharing! This is my sister’s favorite holiday treat! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and lots more happy blogging! Warm hugs from Florida, Diane
Congratulations Katherine and thank you. I have a Pom in the frig and now I’ll follow these “un messy” directions to get at those seeds. Happy Holidays!
Congratulations! I’ve enjoyed your posts..
A huge round of applause coming to you from Phoenix. What a wonderful milestone.
My daughter and I love pomegranates and will give this a go. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulation on reaching 1000! That is quite an achievement!! I love Pomegranates but have only purchased them already seeded so this tutorial will definitely help me try my own. Thank you!!
Congratulations on your 1000th posts. Wishing you many more to come of which I’m looking forward to seeing.
I have never ever eaten a pomegranate. Probably because I always assumed that they are messy and can stain your clothing so just never messed with them but I may give it a try after seeing from your photos just how easy it is to deseed one.
Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas
