The FASTEST Way to Prepare a Pomegranate!

[@lpa9974]

Thanks for your great video. I had a pomegranate tree in my backyard for many years - here’s another tip for anyone interested. If you slice off both ends and then slightly cut through just the outer skin on one or both sides, you can easily pry open the fruit and it will naturally roll out and lay in sections to be easily eaten. PS I always wear black/dark clothes while eating pomegranates to keep from staining. One of my favorite fruits! Take care.

[@jenniecooper7430]

Hey Uncle Jay, it Bea, mum mum had me watch your video and we did what you said. It worked good. Thank you!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad to hear it Bea! I liked your video as well! It was good to have Thanksgiving with you all!

[@davidbertrand6884]

👍🏻🫶🏻❣️ WOW‼️ An amazing way to get a pomegranate processed. Just did 4 in about an hour, without your process. I’ll have to try both of your methods next time. Also I don’t eat those seed like some other videos show doing. Thanks from Louisiana 🇺🇸 12-23-2023 ( 🙋🏻‍♂️73 years young ) Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🧑🏻‍🎄☦️❣️❣️

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Love it! Merry Christmas!

[@debrarudy2253]

I harvest about two wheelbarrows full. Time and efficiency is key! We cut them in half and juice the majority of them with a heavy duty citrus juicer. By hand, we simply turn the halves inside out in a bowl of water. Yes, we sacrifice a bit, but we don’t have time to be too finicky! We freeze the juice in quart jars, make pomegranate jelly, syrup, mix with tequila…and give it away! We had about 8 gallons this year. Incidentally, in South America, a folk remedy for diarrhea is a tea made of pomegranate skin.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Debra, thanks for watching and writing and sharing your insights and practices. Wow, it sounds like you make some incredible delicacies. 8 gallons! Wow. Thanks again! Best, DFJ

[@virginianixon3680]

Loved the easy eay to empty the shell and the seed droped in the water thanks

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad it was helpful!

[@melodiecarlisle79]

At 54 years old and never having eaten a pomegranate 🙈 😂 (although I have had juice) I genuinely enjoyed watching your video. I’m a total stained mess, but achieved a good experience 😊 Thanks for the info!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@KatWoodland]

@@DirtFarmerJay @melodiecarlisle79 Made me laugh! ..."total stained mess"... Very funny!

[@alidjillali7450]

Bonjour 🇩🇿🌹🇩🇿 C'est l'un des fruits du paradis. Le fruit de la grenade dans sa saison cette année était fort, de grande taille et de bon goût. Comme il est agréable que les agriculteurs aient commencé à abandonner les engrais chimiques et à les remplacer par des engrais naturels, en plus de arroser les arbres avec l'eau dans laquelle les poissons sont élevés. J'aime aussi cette méthode d'épluchage de la grenade, qui est plus agréable. Salutations fraternelles

[@rongriffin9981]

I tried this out this weekend and I work out great thanks

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Great to hear, Ron! Thanks for watching. Best, DFJ

[@keithlennon6953]

Great method. I love pomegranate but I never knew how to open them like that

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad it was helpful!

[@countchocula5379]

I love these methods! What I like to do is place a paper towel or clean cloth (that I don’t care about being stained 😅) over the pomegranate while I “spank” it lol! The process is much cleaner this way. Great video and helpful tips!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

That's a great idea!

[@caroldean2596]

This works great. We do this, then I put the fruit into an italian ricer and use that to squeeze the juice and some of the pulp out, while retaining the seeds.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

That's a great technique!

[@laureenejackson1441]

Thank you for posting this informative video.

[@lyndanorman5636]

Wow makes it look so easy.

[@KatWoodland]

3:11 Straight to it. Thanks Farmer Jay!

[@kathynoll4634]

Just finished 3 of them in the time it took another video to play! I just needed the juice for some Jelly.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Oh wow need to try the straw juice trick. Can you do a video on young coconut?

[@susieserb6068]

[@DirtFarmerJay]

You're welcome!

[@Dru450]

love the juice box idea, thanks again.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

You bet! Best, DFJ

[@silviaac9289]

Can you share how pick the best ones from grocery store & to know when they are ready to eat/cut open? It is not like a banana or apple that anyonecan tell when ripe or ready to eat. Thanks

[@Grimzoid]

I got given a free pomegranate from the supermarket today 😊off to prepare.

[@uginiopaka3376]

Definitely gonna try this! Easiest method I have seen so far!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Great to hear!

[@royalt3690]

This video was excellent! I knew the water bowl part, but the cutting in sections and the top was awesome!👍😎

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad you liked it, Royal T! Best, DFJ

[@iworkinsteel]

I'd rather take the time to score the low areas of the fruit (sometimes 5, sometimes 6), cut out about a nickel sized section of the top (stem) and bottom (bloom), then pull it apart over a bowl. Then take the time to gently peel the arils out. It takes about 10 minutes. I find it enjoyable, and very few wasted (crushed) arils.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Very nice!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Nicely done!

[@AndyLoRusso]

Thank you for this

[@Khemith_Demon_Hours]

Twilight zone: I leave a video about cats interrupting TV anchors during lockdown, and now another cat invades this video. And Im pretty sure my cat is outside my door right now........

[@warningeagle8558]

Cats are a great helpers

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Yep. Our cats are regular "guests" in our videos...just not usually planned for! Best, DFJ

[@normamacleod8215]

When are they in season

[@DirtFarmerJay]

In the U.S, typically around the last quarter of the year.

[@cynforrest]

Great demo. I want to plant and grow a pomegranate tree this year!! Hope they’re self-pollinators b/c I’ve only room for one tree in my tiny yard in San Diego, CA. Any suggestions??

[@abdelhadivandam6258]

How big is your garden?

[@fperez45078]

You can put in a plastic bag to roll it in case it opens up it splatters inside bag and not everywhere else in your kitchen or clothes.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@carolyndymond5521]

That was brilliant the best I've ever seen, thank you for doing this.

[@heathermbambeni529]

Just had one yesterday, you could swear someone was being murdered in my house everything was red including my the splats on my face 🤣🤣

[@mhpjii]

Hi, Jay. Do you have more info or links about what you mentioned at 6:50 about making a tea from the inner rind?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Here's one that I found with a quick search on Google. Thanks! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2Wyc51-lKmLr80si=GKK5OK8RjqM-LWts

[@bethtvpenanueva4023]

Good job nice your sharing this the one to eat very expensive but it's ok coz this one is good for health God bless you.....

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thank you!

[@R0NThaDon]

Do you chew up the seeds and eat those too? The he’ll around them is good but the seeds aren’t so graat

[@mamamoore3474]

Can I just freeze the whole Pomegranate itself because I have so many, I can't possibly do so many of these it would take me forever

[@DirtFarmerJay]

I don't know. I've never frozen them or processed that way, perhaps someone else can weigh in. Best, DFJ

[@Luckiest333]

Thank you, sir 🙏✨

[@correiapnatalia]

Cool!

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Glad you liked it!

[@roseanneeskandari2370]

For mushing pomegranates It’s better to keep them for like a week until the skin becomes leathery but not dry and then work on them. This way the chances of cracking them open is very low then gently open a hole in the skin and suck on it,,,so good. The small pomegranates are more suitable for this than the big ones.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

This is good info!

[@victoriamihich5713]

Can you recommend a juicer that will hold the entire half of a pomegranate?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

I wish I could. I don't juice that way, so my opinion would be not informed at all! Thanks for watching and writing. Best, DFJ

[@frankmcmahon5820]

Looks a lot better than the mess i was making

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Now' is the time of the year to enjoy them!

[@chriscowan7883]

I didn't see the page for the corn on the cob.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Chris, we had a slight delay and it will be posted next Thursday night. Thanks for noticing and commenting - and sorry for the inconvenience! Best, DFJ

[@chriscowan7883]

Thank you! I love pomegranates! I have since I was kid!

[@ront9395]

Fantastic. Thank you.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

You're welcome!

[@RosaHerrera-s1p]

I juiced one last week are they supposed to taste alittle bitter.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Usually, the juice is sweet with a sour undertone. But, the sourness should be in the background, not the forefront. It sounds like the the fruit was a bit underripe. I hope this helps! Best, DFJ

[@yongcastillo1993]

There's a greater chance of me going to Mars than trying to eat a pomegranate. I gotta admit tho that this video was oddly enjoyable.

[@DirtFarmerJay]

LOL, Yong Castillo! Thx for stopping by and taking time to write. Best, DFJ

[@fifty9forty3]

Why not cut them into quarters and chew out the seeds and thin membranous dividers like corn on the cob? Do it over the kitchen sink or a bowl? It is faster, easier and It won't kill you or the taste.

[@pookiecatblue]

That sounds good to me. I'm trying my first one tomorrow, so wish me luck!

[@GMChess-ht6fi]

Namaste, Sorry to disturb. I have viewed your informative video on Cold Press Juicer. Nice. I have a query. While making juice of De-Seed of pomegranate in Cold Press Juicer, it's juice is not watery red transparent in colour just like it's few drops coming out at the time of its De Seed. Instead it is purple and slight thicky. Is it normal in Cold Press Juicer ? Can you spare some of your time. Regards.

[@monicahallner7931]

Great video! Are you able to grow pomegranate in Utah?

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Monica, there is a variety that can be grown if you are in Southern Utah. Unfortunately, as of right now, there is no variety of pomegranate that is hardy enough to dependably survive (and thrive!) in northern Utah. The variety that will grow in the St. George area is called (somewhat appropriately!) the Utah variety. There is also Russian Red that is touted be able to live in freezing conditions, but reading the fine print, the growers indicate people in the northern zones should grow these in pots and move them indoors during the winter. Not very convenient, but possible to grow pomegranates with some extra effort. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching our video and taking time to write. Best Regards, DFJ

[@jaishrimahatma9643]

START AFTER 5 MINUTES

[@marybradt805]

Just tried my very first pomegranate......cut it like you said put pods in cold water....drained water out then put a teaspoon of it in my mouth......yuck😢 I threw it all I the garbage.....tasted horrible to me......just my taste 😅

Do you eat the seeds and all We just chew the juice out and spit the rest

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Starts cutting at 3:45

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Indeed, but there is other things to learn leading up to that for those that want to know more than the cutting technique. Thanks for watching!

[@Mike-hr6jz]

You need to go to Ron Popiel and make a machine that rolls around the pomegranate instead of using your hands I know Ron is dead, but you could still make a machine like that you make a fortune

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Yep, I don't think there will be another "Ronco!"

[@annied7905]

I don't want to stay tuned I just want you to show me

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@jimakcelik6486]

I tried with water doesn’t taste that well

[@DirtFarmerJay]

Do you mean the rinse water? That is used only to float up the membranes to make it easier to separate the arils from the rest of the fruit. The water does not dilute the juice that is contained in the arils because they are sealed. However, if the arils are crushed and water is mixed with the juice, then you will have diluted juice - which I don't think is very tasty. Best, DFJ
