How to Deseed a Pomegranate In 30 Seconds
What do you think of when you think of pomegranates? We think of an absolutely delicious, tangy, sweet superfood. However, if you’ve ever tried to get the edible seeds out of a raw pomegranate fruit, you probably thought “holy cow, that’s a lot of work.”
What if you could access all those tangy, delicious seeds in less than 30 seconds using common kitchen utensils you probably already have sitting around? We’ve got good news for you: you can!
Watch the video below from our friends in South Carolina to see exactly how to get every seed out of a pomegranate fruit in 30 seconds or less. (Their pomegranates are a light-skinned heirloom variety but this trick works on any pomegranate.)

Eat a handful of them whole, sprinkle them on a salad, or get creative. If you need more inspiration, here are 11 great ideas for using fresh pomegranate seeds that you’ll enjoy.
