Make pomegranate juice yourself - it's that easy
Squeezing the pomegranate can cause an uncanny mess in the kitchen. The best way to start is to protect yourself and your kitchen from the splashes. These are difficult to remove.
Method 1: Use a citrus press
Use a sharp knife to separate the delicious fruit in half. Then squeeze each half on a citrus press in a circular motion. The kernels get caught in the collecting bowl and you only have your juice in the bowl. Then just pour the juice into a glass and you're done.
" Tip: To remove the juice from the fruit without leaving any residue, you must exert some pressure.
Method 2: juice without red splashes
The juice can also be easily made without splashes by kneading the fruit properly on the table beforehand. Here, the kernels detach from the skin and later juicing becomes child's play. If the shell doesn't feel soft enough yet, you can help a little. Press the shell well with your fingers so that the last seeds are detached from the skin. Then you have to prick the pomegranate with a fork or toothpick and collect the juice flowing from it in a bowl or a glass. Every now and then squeeze the fruit a little so that all the juice flows out. In this way, you will definitely save yourself all the splashes of clothes, wallpaper and kitchen furnishings.
