Pomegranate

My co-worker introduced me to eating pomegranates recently.  I've always loved the flavor, but have never had the actual fruit.  After a quick tutorial from her, I tried it on my own.  It takes a while to get the hang of it, but this fruit makes a great addition to your breakfast AND is full of antioxidants.

First, you cut the fruit in half then score the edges of each half about 4 times.  Fill a large bowl with water and submerge one half of the fruit, gently pulling apart the seeds.  The white part will float to the top and the seeds will sink to the bottom.  Use your hand to scoop the white stuff off the top. I'll usually remove the large pieces as I got and set them aside to compost.

After repeating this with the 2nd half, turn the bowl over into a strainer to remove the water.  I'll then separate the seeds into several containers for the week and take them for my breakfast.  It takes a bit of time to get used to eating the seeds because some can be a bit crunchy, but they are juicy and delicious.
