I tweeted my handful of pom from yesterday :DWho knew it was so easy to eat pomegranate!
I offered Sam (our house guest ^_^) half a pomegranate last night and he goes to me..you don't know how to remove the seeds? I can't believe you're eating it that way (picking them out of the pomegranate one by one).
I go..are you supposed to hit it with a spoon to get the seeds out?
He's like OMGGGGG, the trick is to use a bowl of water. :::we put Smallville on pause:::
and search it on youtube. Minh and I had no idea lol.
When I get back, I can go buy that case of 6 pomegranates from Costco!!! :)
If you don't already know..why not learn :D I love youtube!
I watched that pomegranate video last night before heading to bed. half an hour later there was a REALLY bad thunderstorm. the noise was like an explosion! all i could think about was a giant pomegranate that exploded and all the seeds (aka the rain) was crashing onto my window. haha my dog was running around scared and cuddled between my boyfriend and i for protection
ReplyDeletehaha! i probably would've eaten it the same way you were!!!
ReplyDelete@Susan poor doggie! We've been hit with lots of wind, snow, and ice. But our dogs seem to love the snow lol. They were trying to eat it, it was so cute!
ReplyDelete@Kym are you a pom fan?? :D
omg!! this is soo helpful !!! i bought a pomegranate 2 weeks ago.. and i picked out the seeds one by one.. i was thinking to myself "this is good, but not worth the effort!" i got stains on my shirt and it was taking me forever.. i was like "how do ppl eat this/!?!" i never bothered to look it up on youtube......
ReplyDeleteyay!! i can now buy pomegranates !!!!! wow.. i never knew it was that simple...
OMG! I feel pretty foolish now. Since thats exactly how I would eat a pomegranate. (Picking the seeds out one by one.) Ha ha I'm glad I know now. I will have to go buy some now. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I saw one of your recent posts on twitter you shared a link to a coat and I LOVED it! :) I just got a double breasted one today. But I tend to stay away from any other color besides black. I hope you find one you like!
OMGGGGGGG THAT'S SO FRIGGIN COOL!!! I wanan go out and buy a bunch of pomegranates and make them for my family now.
ReplyDeleteOh I love Youtube too<333

Ive never eaten a pom before, just juices or candys, the little beads look so cute and pretty XD
ReplyDeleteI've never even tried to eat a pom before because I didn't know how. Thanks to you (and Sam!) and youtube, I won't be scared anymore. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the video!!! I've been eating it like you have FOR YEARS!!! AHHHHH this will make my life much easier :)
ReplyDeleteomg! haha, i always made the biggest mess tryna eat one, so i never buy em anymore! shit, now i can! =P gotta love YouTube ;)
ReplyDeletei've never had pomegranates in my life! always knew how it smelled like but never tried them. HAHAHA unsure if those are hard to find around upstate NY LOL thanks for letting me know how to eat a new fruit! hope pomegranates are yummylicious! ;)
ReplyDelete-SharBEAR
I never knew that worked hahaha my mom always picked it out with a knife/spoon. I need to tell her think, she'll think I'm a genius! Thanks for sharing Steph!
ReplyDeleteDon't think i've ever eaten pomegranate before. I prob had it in smoothies before :)
ReplyDeleteI love YouTube!! You can pretty much search for anything on there. I don't know how we survived without YouTube before.
ah, this is incredible!
ReplyDeletei hate house pomegranate juice does not wash out, though i love pomegranate!
i never knew that there was a way to actually eat it haha
i am glad someone figured it out and posted a video :)
Such a great idea but there's a lot of steps just to get to the juicy seeds! But, it is the easiest and most mess-free one I've seen. gonna go get some now. I've been avoiding getting them just because it was so messy. I have the marks on my labcoat to prove how messy it was. ;)
ReplyDelete*yummm, i love pomegranetes! Its sweet and when the juice pops into your mouth it tastes so refreshing. Yay, for a new method for eating this fruit. Thanks for the tip. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I learned that trick on "Good Eats" (one of my favorite shows on the Food Network). Ever since that show did a feature of the Pomegranates, I've been drinking promegrante juice daily. Good stuff! =D
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
ReplyDeleteIm a desert girl, pomegranates grow out here, so Ive never even had to BUY them! & all those years I NEVER knew how to do this!! Now Im gonna go pick some & make me some pom juice! YAAAAAAAYYYY I love you eternally for this!

I feel stupid
ReplyDelete:\
I have always eatin them like that. . . . .
LOL, looks like I'm going to speed up the process!!
:D
Omg I never knew that trick with poms!!! I always did it the same way you did... pick them out ONE BY ONE. It's tedious!! :p Which is why I hardly buy them! But now I will get them since they seem to be in season when it's cold.. haha =) I love pomegranates a lot, but the hassle (and mess) of opening them was too much :p I will have to try it now!! hehe I doubt I can juggle like that guy though!
ReplyDeleteYAY for the Nordstrom groupon!! I have it too!! Those Tory flats you got is realllllllly cute! I just love leathery shoes! :) The design is so sleek!! Your sister should love it :D haha
Have a fun Thanksgiving with your fam Steph! :) I wish i could be in Boston! I went there once but not long enough. It was super awesome :)
lol is it sad that i watched that video when you first tweeted it even though i didn't have any pomegranates to eat? haha youtube seriously has everything. apparently you can charge your ipod with an onion and some Gatorade... LOL or how to open a wine bottle with your SHOE without the cork going all crazy.
ReplyDeletei read in the comments that there is even an easier way to take the seeds out?!?!?! i tried looking but if you find out, let us know! i've always wanted to eat a pomegranate <3 <3 i'm sort of excited now.. :)
i hope you're okay in the snow!!!! do you know if its going to be snowing during your flight to boston!? >.<
omg. How convenient. LOL. I learn something new everyday on your blog. :D I'm gonna go buy lots and lots of pomegranate now. YUMMMSKIES.
ReplyDeletesteph... that video was amazing! hahah now i want to eat pomegranate!!
ReplyDeleteif you liked that youtube video, you'll love this video on how to remove kiwi skin! i was so amazed when i saw this video... AND ate a lot of kiwis afterwards too! hahahah ENJOY! :D

Thanks for sharing, i had no idea O_o
ReplyDeleteI have a pom tree in my backyard. I picked them and gave it away to one of my close friend who loves pom, saying its really healthy. She ate them and says its super sweet. So the next day I gave one Pom a chance. OMG, it's so freaken sour!!!! It's either my friend's POM is sweet or I'm just sensitive to sour.
ReplyDeleteI gave her about twenty baseball size Poms. I should have charged her for it. =) Did your friend Sam learn to eat a Pom from youtube too?
It's so weird that you recently posted this post about pomegranate seeds because I just watched an episode of Good Eats on Food Network and Alton Brown was teaching how to remove the seeds without the mess. It really is so simple and interesting. I don't care for the taste of pomegranates, but at least now you know how to get the seeds out!
ReplyDeleteI LOVEEEE that you posted this.
ReplyDeleteMy mom buys pomegranate all the time, and I usually have her break it and take out all the seeds for me, and she uses the tapping a spoon against trick as well.
I'm going to have to show this one to her. Thanks for sharing (:
OMG! I love pomegranate flavors but never knew how to eat them... if you know what I mean. Haha. Thanks! <3
ReplyDeleteNow don't kill me BUT I have never eaten this before. I should try it sometime. What does it even taste like? Sweet? Sour?
ReplyDeleteI do that with YouTube all the time haha :) ya know I've never tried pomegranate. I've heard many ppl talk how good they are. I have however tried Naked Drinks. They have one with pomegranate in it. Ommmmmg so freaking awesome you should try one.
ReplyDeleteomg, this is super useful!! i actually saw this on Alton Brown just the other day and was absolutely amazed. i was picking out each pomegranate individually before this! :)
ReplyDeletecuteandlittle.com
i've never eaten a pomegranate before! they look like candy! LOL
ReplyDeletethat is soo cool I never knew that
ReplyDeletelol i ahd no idea you could eat pomegranites without a mess. i always hhave to eat them in unimportant t shirts and old jeans...hmmm. this could make my life a lot easier, cause pomegranites are my fave!!!
ReplyDeleteOmygosh!! You are an angel for sharing this! I only had one pomegranate in my life and then I never ate another one because it was a huge pain in the donuthole to eat it!
ReplyDeleteI love pomegranates!

Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHa! That is an awesome trick! I have to try it soon! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for sharing!!
I just randomly cut it and eat it like the guy did at the beginning of the video hahaha I have a big box of pomegranates so i guess its time to practice and stock up on already cut pomegranates LOL
ReplyDeleteI've actually never ate a pomegranate before lol. Is it good? xD
ReplyDelete@lalilyx3 they're delicious! and very good for you as well :) They taste kind sweet, and sour
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the vid. I was like you, picking at them one by one, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI DID NOT KNOW THIS TRICK EITHER!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was peeling apart a pomegranate the other day and it squirted all over my shirt! Luckily, I'm great at cleaning so none of it stained. LOL.
Anyhow I am so excited to try this.
Man, I should show my friend how to eat it! He is completely obsessed with this fruit! For me? Mehhhh.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I first tried a pomegranate in the sixth grade because we were learning about Egypt! Brings back memories.
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten a pomegranate in a while because they seem to be scarce where I live, but I do like the smell of them!
I'm off to hunt for some pomegranate!
I've been picking seed after seed out of my pomegranates!! The video was so helpful, thanks so much Steph!!! <3 I'm craving one now hehe
ReplyDeleteSteph I watched the pomegranate video and read your post last week and since then, I've been seeing videos on how to eat a pomegranate pop up everywhere! Sympatico, Yahoo, etc. Kept having senses of deja vu lol; seen it already on your blog, you're ahead of the game!
ReplyDeleteBtw, are pomegranates a Christmas/festive thing then? Which may explain the amount of these videos lately XD
Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI have a LV tivoli, I was wondering how do you clean LV handles? Mine is starting to brown and look dirty-ish. UGh gross!! Does that happen to you?
Costco has them already deshelled and scooped out. Believe it or not when i tried my first pomegranate I tried to eat the shell....bleeehhh!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post! :)
i just loved this post haha! im a huge fan of pomegranates so def will put it in water nxt time :D thnks for sharing xx
ReplyDelete@whatsanitadeal I haven't really cleaned my bags. I just rotate them often so they don't wear.
ReplyDeletehaha i usually just pick out each seed to eat, but this is a much better way! :P
ReplyDeleteThe pomegranate looks like delicious. In my cottage I have some trees of pomegranates, jeje
ReplyDeletethis was actually really helpful :)
ReplyDeletegreat post!! x

Such a useful post!! I use to pick out the seeds like you but now I'm going to watch the video and do it that way. I loveee pomegrenates, just hate how it makes me look like I killed a small animal.
ReplyDeleteI love it as juice!
ReplyDeleteOMGWHAT! You can get the seeds out like that?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pomegranates, and they're SO good for you, but I always struggle with eating it. I'll buy one tomorrow and try it out!
Thanks for sharing! :)
Maria
Wow, that's a good idea. Now i can eat prom like the way you do! Thanks Steph
ReplyDeleteso i haven't had internet since thankgiving-ish so one of the first things i did once i got my connection back was visit your blog only to find out...
ReplyDeleteNO UPDATES? :( how was your trip to harvard? show us your mufe hall! :)
Hey, no updates yet? can't wait to hear about your Harvard trip and your MU hauls...gosh, so into makeup these days!
ReplyDeleteLol at his messiness! I imagined he would drop the pomegranite when he juggled it.
ReplyDeletePomegranites are so niceee when they're juicy and sweet <33333
haha I might try this method instead of slicing the whole thing like I would slice an apple.
HAHA wow i never thought to google how to eat a pomegranate. I love them as well but I think i'd prefer to eat them like you do. Or if i'm impatient i just take a handful and chew it and spit the seeds out. I looks gross but tastes so good :)
ReplyDeleteHahah! I didnt know how to take the seeds out of a pom too... But my mum used a spoon and tapped the shell to get the seeds out ^^"
ReplyDeleteThere so tasty.
I just tried pomegrantate @ my friends house and loved it and now i'm excited to learn how to cut it myself yay!!! Need to go to Grocery nowww :)
ReplyDeleteSAw this post awwhile back but have to comment for LV contest..I LUVVVV louis vuitton always wanted one/want one:)
omg, thank you!!!!!!!!!!! everytime i eat a pomegranate, it looks as though i was bleeding everywhere. it used to be such a pain to try to get the seeds out, now i am going to have to try this tip, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like watching howcast, some good stuff on there! Oh god I can't stand Smallville anymore. I was a major fan until it got so stupid. I just laugh now when I see it on, but my boyfriend still watches it. I'm guessing he's going to watch it till the end!
ReplyDeleteWow, I feel dumb now.. I never knew it was that easy!! HA!
ReplyDeleteI wish i like pomegranates look good but I just can't stand the taste
