if you're under enemy fire but also want to eat some delicious pomegranate, you can also bite off the top part of the fruit, count to three, then throw it in their direction this turns your pomegranate into a pomegrenade and has the benefit of being both healthy and harmful

[@nonconsensualopinion]

If you ever work at a bank and it gets robbed, place a pomegranate into the bag of money before handing it to the robbers. Later, when they open the bag they'll be covered in a permanent stain making their eventual apprehension simpler.

[@no-man_baugh]

While he is using a real pomegranate, he's using the far rarer Mediterranean variety that's been blowing up online for the past couple months due to it's striking visual appearance. the more common and traditional South American pomegranate that you'll find in your local grocery store looks pretty similar on the outside to the Mediterranean but the inside looks totally different. it's more of an open crevice with the edible stuff lining the inside. basically, if you know what a goatse looks like, then you know what a pomegranate looks like

[@bbbelt_far]

@@no-man_baugh in my opinion, the original ones are much better. The new variety tastes much more sour.

[@Clawdragoons]

Do be careful everyone about that last method, it really can spray juice everywhere. Someone did it at our local train station and there was pomegranate juice ALL over the tracks. They cordoned off the area with some yellow tape to make sure no one stained their clothing. A person was sobbing uncontrollably nearby - I assume she was part of the janitorial staff and had to clean up all the pomegranate juice. I love pomegranates and swiped a little bit of the juice when I could, though the iron tracks made it taste all metallic.

Pomegranates are the seed pods of Great Old One eldritch horrors. *We must eat the Pomegranates, else all is doomed!*

[@tastymedleys]

The best way of getting the seeds out of a pomegranate was demonstrated to my family by a man in a remote hotel on a mountain while several more people watched with fascination. Just cut the pomegranate in half, hold the half over a plate/bowl/container of choice, and tap it (but put some oomph into it!) at an angle with a spoon/fork/utensil of choice. The seeds just fall out super easy. My 10 year old mind was blown, same as my parents', and I haven't forgotten it since.

Thank you I have been looking everywhere for a way to cut a pomegranate, this was very helpful

[@thomasbruinsma]

I like how the first method he showed is actually three methods combined. The flashy cut method, the wooden spoon method and the submerging method. The best way to clean a pomegranate is to cut it in half, side to side. Submerge it in a bucket of water and remove all seeds from the shell with your fingers. Discard the shell, stir the water and take a sieve to remove the white flesh that floats to the top. Strain the water from the seeds and you're done. No special cuts needed, no wooden spoon or rolling pin necessary. Maximum result.

[@TeacupTSauceror]

Didn't they recently decide that pomegranates can feel pain so you need to kill them humanely _before_ drowning them?

[@soapical]

Do you need a train for this method?

[@LLawliet1011]

Did you know: the French word for pomegranate is grenade! This is likely because if you breathe at it wrong or your knife twitches slightly the seeds explode and then you’re standing in the juice stained wreckage of everything you love.

The last time I ate a pomegranate, I just cut it in half and shovelled out the seeds with my bottom teeth, into my mouth, like I was eating an apple. It was a little more bitter than normal, but still pretty good. Turns out removing the white stuff isn't necessary for a good time.

[@CANDYZANE69]

As a kid, neighbors had these growing in front of their houses on the sidewalks. We would just pick them and eat them, getting juice all over our fingers, hands, and rolling down our arms. They were good too. Then we would just go and clean up in our yard in the water hose. No problem!

Cheese is a dairy product, derived from milk and produced in wide ranges of flavors, textures and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified and the enzymes of either rennet or bacterial enzymes with similar activity are added to cause the casein to coagulate. The solid curds are then separated from the liquid whey and pressed into finished cheese.Some cheeses have aromatic molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking temperature.
