There is already a great step-by-step process for deseeding a pomegranate using water, courtesy of the Greatist, who have tested various techniques, and who claim to have mastered the art of extracting those juicy seeds. Feel free to give their method a try. 2. Although I do not own one myself, there are super affordable pomegranate DeSeerders out there that get rave reviews and are worth investing in if you regularly enjoy this healthy fruit. 3. However, if you are not intimidated by dissecting pomegranates, peel and cut them into smaller pieces and gently remove the arils with your fingers. You'll have these tiny red fruits out in no time. Make sure you wear an apron or something you are not worried about staining! Note: Once peeled, place the fruit on a flat surface, crown up, and use your fingers to open it gently. If the fruit is very ripe, this should be easy to do; otherwise, use the tip of your knife to gently bore deeper into the white part of the crown until the fruit begins to crack. Break up into segments, removing any large white pith or membranes. Take one segment, place it over a bowl, and pop and peel the seeds out by gently rolling your thumb over the red jewels away from the pith as you bend open the segment. Repeat.
