Step 1
Cut the 1 pomegranate in half crosswise. Hold one half cut-side down over a bowl, and tap the skin firmly with a wooden spoon. The seeds will fall out, leaving the white pith behind.
Step 2
Repeat with the other half. Pick out any bits of white pith that fall into the bowl.
Step 3
Rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water and drain well.
Step 4
Pat the seeds dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
