Pomegranates or Anaar (in Hindi) are fruits that not just have a visual appeal but for so good for your health. They are very high in anti-oxidants and also Vitamin C with absolutely zero fat or cholesterol. It is beautiful looking tropical fruit that is very versatile and great in salads, drinks, reductions, deserts and savory dishes.
Here is a quick look at how to most effectively de-seed a Pomegranate. Enjoy!
Anuja, thanks for the tip. Thankfully I have two pomegranates at home, begging to be deseesed! Can’t wait to try this out! 🙂
Omg! Best tip ever. It works so well. Since watching your video we r eating so much more anar and since it’s in season in the US it tastes amazing. It is so easy. I can deseed one now in 2 mins and with my eyes closed 😉 thanks thanks
Hi Anu,
AWESOME! Obviously, you are turning pro, rt? 😉
Did you know your pomegranate video has been hacked by zombiegoboomtv?
After watching your original video, I have come to love de-seeding pomegranates and have also directed many friends to this site to watch the video. However, when I wanted to watch this video again today, I clicked on one of two pomegranate images and ended up watching a pomegranate de-seeding video by zombiegoboomtv.com.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for looking out for us. I did look into it and it is their own video – the idea may be similar but their own content.
It just warms our heart when you’ll look out for us 🙂
Happy Holidays!
u do great stuff! i learn a lot about south asian cooking. but i have difficulties with certain spices, when to put them and how? frying at the beginning? ad later? etc. explaining special south asian spices and when/how to use them would be appreciated
Hi Natalie,
Thank you so much for your feedback!
There are no hard and fast rules to when to add what spices. The flavor of the dish changes depending on when you add the spices. In every video, we mention when what has to be added. We try not to go into a lot of details as the the videos tend to get very long and boring.
Having said that, we will revisit this topic again soon.
Wow amazing! Def want to try this method.
Thx!
this is so helpful! thanks Anuja, loved it!
Thank you for this very useful tip I used this several times since this video.
I tried with a small Belan and that too worked! Awesome work both of you
This one is going to be very helpful. Thank you! Yu mentioned Dabeli ..can you please add that recipe to the site?
OMG… It works !!! Thank you so much for this such a wonderful tip Anuja. 🙂
I have been showing this tips to my friends.. they were all impressed 🙂
My husband and I are thankful to your recipes and tips.. you guys ROCK!!
i tried 2 times so far. didnot work 🙁 .try and try until you succeed 🙂
Thanks Anuja.. definitely going to try de-seeding this way. The indian ones can get stubborn. Welcome to India 🙂
You have inspired me this weekend, I’m off to buy some anaar now!
Happy to see you Anuja! Thanks for the video. We have one pomegranate at home and we will try it! 🙂
Hi, I tried this today and it worked !!!!
A very useful demo Anuja.Many thanks.As usual absolutely great
Your Math is wrong, unless you have de seeded 99057 pomegranates till now 🙂
Hi Subhadra,
I have – feels like I have 😉
Anuja, I have deseeded many pomegranates in my lifetime, but never so systematically. Can’t wait to put this tutorial to use on my next pomegranate. Thanks a bunch!
Hi nkalil,
Welcome!
Let us know if it works for you 🙂
The membrane is actually very goo for you.
As is the dried skin, as a tea, it has nore anti oxidants than the fruit itself
Yes, Ferhana but it is bitter and hence not really tasty to eat…guess it’s a classic example of “if it’s good for you, it’s not yummy”…
Ahh atlast your first one from India. Good to see you girl.
Thanks Mamta – YAAAYYYY!!!
