How to portion a pomegranate
Portioning a pomegranate can sometimes be difficult, but with a simple trick, the seeds are easy to obtain. First, cut off the top part of the apple and cut its skin all around. Then gently open the apple in parts and immerse the individual segments in a bowl of water. Use your fingers to gently scoop out the seeds, which will sink to the bottom while the skin and membranes float away. The seeds obtained in this way can be consumed immediately or added to salads, desserts or smoothies.
