January 10, 2013 at 1:08 pmPerfect timing, as I was opening a pomegranate to put the arils on my greek yogurt this morning… Unfortunately, mine didn’t work as “beautifully” as yours! ;-( Only maybe a half dozen or so fell out from each quarter–although I think they *were* loosened with the whacking… but I also had juice flying all over the place! Lol… Wiping down my kitchen cabinets and counters right now! 😉

January 10, 2013 at 2:05 pmDo you think it was over ripe Jan? Mine didn’t splatter at all in fact I was a bit surprised how it wasn’t “messy” at all!

January 10, 2013 at 3:35 pmI don’t know, Halle… when I “nudged” them out with my fingers, there wasn’t any extra juice. They’ve been in my fridge since before Christmas, but my CSA says they keep in the fridge for about 3 months. I have used the wooden spoon whacking method on my pomegranates before I cut them open, and that has loosened them up quite a bit, without the juice “spray”! 😉

February 5, 2013 at 10:21 pmIt’s never that easy! They don’t all come out that way. The best way I have found to get the seeds out is to cut the fruit in half and put it in a large bowl of water. Use a spoon to scoop them out UNDER the water. Easy as pie! Can’t wait to try these candies.

August 12, 2013 at 1:26 pmNice video, maybe try rolling the pomegranate on the board before cutting into the fruit, just like an orange.
I like the idea of whacking on the back of the fruit. Good job. http://www.godmadebread.com/

September 26, 2013 at 8:09 pmHi Halle!
I just watched this video and tried opening the pomegranate I bought last weekend! I had a few come loose with the spoon whacking, but most of them seemed “stuck tight.” Any ideas why? I had some juice spray but not much. I ended up turning the pieces out and pulled them off the white pith…wondering why they didn’t shake loose as easily as yours…Thanks for your help!!
Lisa 🙂
