I am excited to see that you started doing videos as well. I was just wondering why you decided to have only “half of you”? I am no expert but I think your smile is your brand…
awww you’re sweet! I’ve had bad hair days lately 🙂
Love this, Jaden! Thanks for sharing
LOVE IT! I’ve so had bad drama with opening pomegranates! Also have had issues in the past few years of picking ones that when i got them home were rotten inside.
Sigh.
Luckily costco has a 4 pack of seeded in the cold section! Woot!
But now that i can stay clean, maybe i’ll try again!
If you want to preserve the integrity of your seeds, slice a little round off the top first. That lets you see the areas where the segments are separated. If you run your knife along the sides, following the segments, you can open it like a flower, and avoid cutting into any seeds.
Love this, Jaden! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
There’s a far easier way–cut the pomegranate in half and cup one half in your hand (cut-side facing your palm, and down) while you tap the skin side on top with a wooden spoon. The seeds come out very easily.
