And the pre-peeled containers for 4x the price are a ripoff

  • cut off the top and bottom
  • on the bottom, look for the pith lines, usually 5 of them. Cut down from there all the way to the bottom, so that you have 5 slices. Remember your affirmations, you don’t have to be perfect even if everyone wants you to be. If you’re a pro you can not cut all the way through to the top and simply starfish it out
  • Take a slice and a wooden spoon. Beat the ever living daylights out of the back of the slice, the delicious rubies will go flying everywhere…hopefully into the bowl you put underneath where you’re thwacking. Or, if you don’t have an anger management disorder, just tap the backs gently, ymmv.

"And just beat the devil out of it."

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Devil gets beat up enough, I just prefer to beat my fruit.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a Bob Ross reference.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

The world could really use more Bob Ross right now

Good job, you've killed OP due to simple instructions. I hope you're happy.

[–] save_the_humans@leminal.space 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the answer, folks. I learned from an old 3 star michelin star chef, and chefs all have anger issues.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Not all chefs. Some cover their anger issues with drug addiction.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago

I saw a friend do this and I was so impressed. Although she didn't beat the slices.

Tangentially, the bowl of pomegranate seeds was for snacking on during a movie. I found it hilarious because it felt like it was middle class popcorn (I grew up super poor, and pomegranate was one of the many foods I didn't try until university)

I mean I want there to be an easier way than “peel underwater” but every time I see a life hack that just rehashes that method, I’m glad to know I haven’t been wasting my time.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I find this method easier and no water involved. To each their own though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U4X9uh-sZ4

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Did…are you a bot? The last step in the video is literally putting the seeds in the bowl and scooping out flesh with a spoon. I guess this is “waterless” if the goal is not getting your hands wet with water (only pomegranate juice?)

Anyway, I will still try waterless if I happen to open up pomegranate and it’s magically of the quality and peelability in the video.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My pomegranate method is to cut the peel into quarters along the ~4 corners, and then I just bite into it and be okay with eating a lil bit of waxy stuff

[–] wabasso@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ll give this a try, but I know it won’t be compatible with wife.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pomegranate/wife compatibility is admittedly quite crucial

[–] guy_threepwood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Something about not eating the seeds whilst Hades is about, right?

[–] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

This is solid. Basically, peel them in a bowl and submerged in water

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

Crack them and then do the deseeding under water.

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

are pomegranates that unhealthy?

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, pomegranates are actually very healthy. They're rich in polyphenols (a class of antioxidant), fiber, and a variety of micronutrients, and they have a low glycemic index.

[–] Thatuserguy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

...however when you eat 40 in one sitting

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You've got to spend half the year in the underworld from now on.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Sounds like something from 1001 Arabian Nights.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm glad it works for you, my pancreas attracts every other object in the universe with a force a force proportional to there masses and thusly the distance between them.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Full agreement. If they were of similar difficulty to an orange I'd be fucked

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

That's exactly how I would feel if someone had my trapped and told me they would stick pomegranates up my rear end.

!No! No pomegranates!

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That life hack didn't work for Persephone.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

There’s an interpretation that she did it in purpose to get away from her controlling mother. Kinda like that version.
