Pomegranate - new way to peel?

[eNorm]

I know this isn't a tropical fruit, but has anyone tried opening a pomegranate like this before?  It's pretty amazing, considering how much work it is to typically open and consume.

Sorry... not sure how to embed this video here.

Wow, it is amazing! I never know this trick. I always has hard time to eat pomegranate . From now on, I will do this trick. Thanks for posting, enorm!

Dude, that's the coolest video I've seen in a while. Awesome. Chris

My daughter-in-law showed me that video a month or two ago, since I eat a lot of pomegranates.  That is how I peel pomegranates now.  Takes less time, and looks cool. But you have to make the cuts deep enough, and put them straight on the membrane lines.  Impresses the heck out the grandkids!

That is AWESOME!

Daintree, I'm glad to hear that it actually works.  I'll have to find a fruit at the market to try this out now.

Thanks for the tip.

I'm a little confused that people think pomegranates are hard to eat. ...? I just score it into quarters, and peel the skin off the quarters with my finger, and viola- 4 equal parts of seeds! All you have to do is lift the section to your mouth, and scrape the seeds off into it with your teeth - they usually all come off in one big juicy bunch, leaving just the white astringent quarter behind that held them all. It's not hard at all. It takes less work than this video does with all the fancy cutting...

It's all the videos that show the big spoon whack the half fruit on youtube that makes it messy. Tried that once years ago and never done it again.

Saw another video of scoring the sides but took off the top first and did that for a few years.

Saw this method last year and have been doing this ever since. But a painter artist I talked to at a holiday party have been doing this method for a long time. I guess they kept the trick to themselves.
