Benefits of Pomegranate and How to eat a Pomegranate
Hey there!
This post was inspired by the Dr Oz show.
One evening I saw my mother beating the back of a red fruit for the seeds to come out.
She was whacking on a pomegranate like I have never seen.
She said, “that is how it was done on TV… I want to eat a pomegranate”.
Later I watched the episode and understood why beating the pomegranate seemed like a good idea.
I still prefer to use a sharp knife to cut open a pomegranate and get the seeds out.
The red seeds are little jewels!

How to Eat a Pomegranate

Step 3: Drain the water and use the seeds right away or store in a Tupperware for a delicious salad!
