How to choose and cut pomegranates | Everyday | ABC Australia

[@rmw250]

Thank you for showing us this. I love pomegranate. i used to cut it in half but not now you showed us the right way. Pomegranate is super healthy and great for the blood and brain.

It's so refreshing the pomegranate. I put 2 small sugar spoon, 16oz of cold water on the blender and one pommie. I do some pulse. Blend quick enough to release the red juice of the seeds, you don't want to grind the seeds, it might start tart, then I sieve and keep just the juice and enjoy. So good, light and refreshing.

I grew up with heaps of Pomegranate trees on our farm, and was taught that the Millegranite is only fully ripe when it splits open. We NEVER picked our Pomegranates until they split open, however, the Italian-Aussies who lived around us, used to come and collect our pomegranates to make the Grappa... they would pick the entire tree clean, regardless of whether split or not... but that was for home-made wine recipes. (We didn't like pomegranates, but we really, really loved all the "exotic" veges that the share-farmers would supply for us - we used to get heaps of "marrows" which we now call Zucchinis etc, and also heaps of other veges, so my Mum used to make heaps of green tomato pickles, and ripe tomato relish... which everyone in the district loved, esp the share-farmers who drank at our Pub. It was a wondeful childhood of share, and share!) Reason for edit... I misspelt "pomegranite"!!! (oop)

Also, our Mum had a rule, if ever we were gunna eat pomegranates or mulberries... we were required to wear our oldest clothes, as the stains were horrific. Visiting kids had to wear our old shirts over their clothes. We loved eating the mulberries, but only ever used the pomegranites for pip-spitting competitions, and Wayne from next door held the distance-spitting record... no-one could beat him!!! But the most fun was having pip-spitting fights at each other... hence the massive need for the oldest clothes!

By the way, each family who made Grappa used to limit themselves to a single tree each, and therefore seven or eight families would all have pomegranate wine, so it was a wonderful community in which to live!!! Everyone was considerate of each other. (But because I liked marrows and relish more than pomegranites, I always thought the wine-makers got the worst end of the deal, but I believe they thought otherwise, as apparently milligranite wine was a much-prized flavour amongst those who cherished Grappa!)

[@SVALLA_]

I've got some Persian friends that are very upset up this video 🤣

[@gopxrock4950]

I'm scare to pick one up from the store because it cost 2 - 4 dollar each. You can not enjoy a Wonderful Pom without splitting the seeds out or swallow the whole things. The last part is proof enough.

[@thieyiwaon6316]

pommies

[@tutsecret499]

LOL. OMG. Do you really need that big knife?

[@thENDweDIE]

30secs..?? Questionable... Also, why not seed it in water..??

[@CatsandJP]

Just stay away from the astringent variety they are basically the ornamental variety…and are terribly sour and hard to get rid of the taste.

[@PeterRudesindus]

I don't see the appeal of pomegranates. There is almost no fruit flesh to it and you are mostly just chewing tasteless mush.
