Sweet. Beating fruit will be the new ultimate gym soon…?
Try tapping gently with the side of a small hammer. Most of the arils dropped out for me! And the peel became quite pliable so it was easy to get the rest out. Yummm!
I just tried it and it works just as fast and easy as he said!
I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I have had great success removing the seeds this way. You might try hitting it harder or using a heavier spoon.
Didn’t quite work for me…..
@John316 .. maybe because this is the ‘Blendtec Official Blog’ …. So anything to promote their product…?
You don’t. That is just what I had on hand when we did the photo shoot.
Errr, why do you need a blendtec to smack a Pomegranate?
Thank you for this! I had no idea it could be this easy! I had to try it for myself, and post it on my blog!
I really did this the hard way. After cutting in half, I took the seeds out one at a time and enjoyed them. It takes awhile, but,—- -my—- what pleasure!!!!
Are you serious! It was that easy all along?! I feel so….yeah….That easy all along. I am so posting this to Pinterest, because it is absolutely pin worthy. Who would’ve known!
I love your titles of the different methods. I find the “smack back” method to be much more efficient and fun.
Opened one just yesterday, and used the slice and pick method… cut into quarters, pull out as many arils as possible into a bowl of water, remove the pith, pour into a sieve and eat… I’ll have to try the “smack the back” method… will likely lose less arils that way!
Oh my gosh that is unreal. I have been eating these for ever and I have always done it the hard way. Peal it, or try to. Thanks you so much for the information. Makes me want to go get one just to try it.
Such a wonderful how-to, I love the idea with the water and really don’t understand why I ever did this without!
Just the comment I was waiting for :)
These fruits are quite expensive here in Denmark and I didn’t want to go and buy one before another reader tried and confirmed this tip :)
So thank you! :0)
