The structure of the pomegranate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The structure of a fruit is the very first thing to understand before cutting it. After all, it is impossible to do it right without such knowledge. Pomegranate has a fairly strong peel, on which small pores are located. Inside the fruit there are hard and uneven veins and ribs that serve as a reliable protection<\/a><\/strong> for pomegranate seeds. Therefore, it is necessary to learn how to overcome this protection correctly. Even if you shake the fruit, throw it, or in any other way strike it, all this will be useless until it is cleaned, nature has thought of such a defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to cut a pomegranate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first method does not require anything specific, it will allow you to clean the pomegranate in just 40 seconds and not even get dirty. You need to take a deep plate or even better a bowl, this device is always found in any kitchen, and a knife, it is better to sharpen it before that, because a non-sharp knife will not cope with this task. First of all, we cut off the upper part, you can determine it by the inflorescence<\/a><\/strong>. But no more than a depth of one centimeter, otherwise you can damage the pomegranate seeds located at the top. But too little depth is also not worth taking, you should see the veins of the fruit. After the top is cut off, we make several cuts on the peel, focusing on the veins, you need not touch the grains themselves. The cuts should be deep enough so that the edges can be pushed a little to the sides. When this is finished, turn the pomegranate upside down over the prepared container and start tapping it with the handle of the knife. You need to knock with all your might, but all the time in different places. At first glance, it may seem that this is not such a fast way, but this is only the first time. After all, after you understand and remember the sequence of actions, you will do it automatically in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This method will help not only to cut the pomegranate correctly and quickly, but also beautifully. Fruits often decorate the table at holidays and various events. Therefore, it was not possible without the invention of a way to beautifully cut this delicacy, because aesthetics are also an important thing. This method is not much different from the first, the difference here is only in a few details. It is necessary to cut off the top in the same way, and then cut the fruit along the line of the ribs, and if in the first case only a cut was enough, then for a beautiful presentation it is necessary to completely cut the pomegranate. The result is individual pieces in the shape of a crescent. With such a feed, the grains will be easily separated from the partitions without spoiling anything around them. And having laid out these bright red crescents beautifully, you can decorate the table well, giving it sophistication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Pomegranate kernels can be removed without contact with bright pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juice does not harm the skin, but its components have strong coloring properties, and therefore hands after cleaning the<\/a><\/strong> pomegranate can turn bright red. In order to avoid this, you can use water. It is necessary to cut off the top of the pomegranate in the same way as in the first two methods, and then make deep cuts. Then the pomegranate should be placed in water of cold or room temperature<\/a><\/strong>. Literally after half an hour, its partitions will swell and become very soft. Then it will be enough to substitute the pomegranate, having previously opened it, under a stream of water. Water will easily wash all the grains into a plate, while your hands will remain white and clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fourth way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This method requires more than just water, a bowl, and a knife. For this method, you will need a hammer, a kitchen hammer, of course, a dumpling mold and a silicone mold. The pomegranate needs to be cut into two equal parts, take a bowl, put a mold for dumplings on it, the pomegranate itself needs to be put in a silicone mold. After everything is prepared, you need to take a hammer and start hitting the grenade with it, while not forgetting about accuracy, because with careless blows you can damage the silicone. As a result, you will get peeled pomegranate seeds, separated from everything superfluous and will not stain the work surface with juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
