Pomegranate question?

How do you prepare a pomegranate? Do you only eat the seeds? My boyfriend bought one and have no clue what to do with it. No cocktail recipes please. We are having spinach salad for dinner with hard boiled eggs and bacon. Dessert is vanilla ice cream. Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Pomegranate question?
I like them stirred up with yogurt and granola. YUM!





And yes, you do eat the seeds. I use the %26quot;whack it with the back of the wooden spoon%26quot; method to get the seeds out.
Reply:you just peel it and eat it. i wouldn%26#039;t do anything else to it. if you have a pair of disposable latex gloves wear them. they really stain your hands and the actual juice will stain fabric. insert the tip of a knife into the top of it(where that crown thing is) and start to peel it. try not to squish it or it%26#039;ll get all leaky and stain everything. peel away the outer skin until you can actually braek it in half or in a section.... do not cut it with a knife. peel away the skin on the inside until you get to the red seeds. gently take out the seeds and remove all of the peel... it is very bitter. put it into a container and into the fridge. it tastes better cold but it%26#039;s not necessary. after your meal serve it at the same time you serve your ice cream. you can try sprinkeling some on your ice cream or in your spinach salad... but taste it first. you eat the whole red seed. enjoy
Reply:Pomegranate it traditionally eaten raw with the seeds (peel the skin, pick out the fruit-enveloped seed, chew and eat.)





Pomegranate is seeded when it is used in recipes as a juice or for jellies.

Spinach Salad with Dried Cranberries, walnuts and pomegranate vinaigrette








1/2 cup pomegranate juice


2 tablespoons white wine vinegar


2 tablespoons olive oil


2 teaspoons Dijon mustard


Salt and ground black pepper


6 cups baby spinach leaves


1/3 cup dried cranberries


1/3 cup walnut pieces








In a small container with lid, combine pomegranate juice, vinegar, oil, and Dijon. Seal and shake to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.


Place spinach on a serving platter and top with cranberries and walnuts. Pour vinaigrette over spinach and serve.
Reply:Cut it in half, and it is best to do this in a bowl of water, you can run your thumb between flesh and seeds and they should pop out. The other option is to cut it open, hold it over a bowl and the hit it on the skin side on the back with a wooden spoon and the seed should pop out.





yes, you eat the seeds.
