Question:

What method do you use for removing arils from a pomegranate?

— Char Nolan

Answer:

I haven't cracked open a pomegranate in a while. What, uh, what is my method here? You know, I like this, well, at least one method that I, that comes to mind now is, The to sort of peel off the top a little bit and um, peel off some of the, like a wide stripe of skin down to the bottom so I can crack it open. And then, kind of turn it inside out, and uh, start to knock those things out, um, from the little clusters that they come in. And, uh, you know, that's a method that I have used. And hopefully that makes sense. But the idea is to, uh, to turn that thing up sort of inside out. And, um, you can, uh, be gentle with them, right? Because, you know, those things will uh, uh, break open and you'll lose a lot of juice. So, uh, be as gentle as you need to be as you as you pull these, uh, these arrows out from these little bunches, okay, inside the pomegranate. Hope that makes sense.
