This can be tricky. But here’s the best and easiest way to peel or deseed a pomegranate. Over a bowl (to catch any falling seeds or juice), cut the top off of the pomegranate, not cutting too into the fruit so as to not cut into the seeds. You’ll see white ribbing showing sections of the seeds. Cut down the sides of the pomegranate skin along the white ribbing, not cutting into the seeds and not cutting all the way down. Fan out the sections of the pomegranate like a flower opening its petals. Remove any of the white ribbing covering the pomegranate seeds. Flip the pomegranate over with the seeds face down over the bowl. Fan out the sections so the pomegranate looks like a star. Using the back of a wooden spoon, hit the pomegranate one section at a time, allowing the seeds to fall into the bowl. Do this for each section. When done, flip the pomegranate skid over and hand pick the remaining stray pomegranates left.
