 Hi, this is Chicho and I just want to make a couple of videos regarding pomegranates, okay? Now, it's pomegranate season as you can tell I've loaded up on pomegranates and what we're gonna do right now is Take a look at three different ways that we can eat pomegranates Two of them is just eating the seed and the third one is getting the juice out eating Drinking fresh pomegranate juice, which is basically my favorite way to enjoy these delicious little things So what we're gonna do is take a look at the first couple of ways which is basically eating the seed, okay? One way you can do it is you take basically a pomegranate and you cut it in half And the way you cut it is not from you know the way it's hanging you cut it sideways, right? So if you take your pomegranate like this you cut it like this, okay? Just sideways and what you need to do with pomegranates or what you have to be careful with pomegranates is pomegranate juice stains and You usually wouldn't be doing this on a table like this You probably take the bowl and put it in the sink and do what I'm about to do What I'm up to show you in the sink, but we're gonna do it here because it's a nice layout, okay? So what you end up doing with a pomegranate is take your pomegranate Take a nice knife sharp knife and what you do is Take either a rag You know just a rag you have like this or you know some napkin and put it on top because when you cut this thing in half The odds are juice is gonna pop out. So what you're gonna do is align it up Get a nice little hook on it, right and take a look at it and Cut this thing and you can tell right this thing's like Fantastic it drips juice now. This is what your pomegranate looks like I'm gonna take this thing and just wipe it down a little bit. Okay, so it doesn't drip everywhere and When you take a look at it, that's what your pomegranate looks like on the inside, right? And It's sort of hard if you don't know How to get the seeds out initially, but once you play around with pomegranates a little bit You figure out how to deal with them, okay? the first way you end up doing it is take a big bowl like this and either take a wooden spoon or a Metal I usually use this but you got to be pretty careful with this because it's hard You don't want to destroy the skin right away Initially means start popping it so try wood wooden spoon right away initially anyway for the first part and What you end up doing is slowly tapping it on its side And as you can tell little bits of seeds start popping out and initially there isn't going to be that many seeds popping out But what you do you slowly move your hand around move the move the pomegranate around Because these things are You know put together really tightly as soon as a few of them fall out Slowly the more you tap it the more of them start falling out and faster. So it becomes pretty rapid Okay, and you're not you know, you're not tapping it gently. You're hitting it fairly hard But don't destroy the skin. Okay, don't cut the skin because you want the skin to be intact So you can manage it you don't want the pomegranate seeds to go everywhere And what happens when you do this you're gonna end up getting little bits of white stuff Just the packaging I guess What keeps the seeds in there? Those are edible you can eat these things if they fall out really big you can take them out and put them out Or you can do it at the end once you get all the seeds out Sometimes you have to loosen it up a little bit for it to pop out. Okay, boop And within a minute or so this is what you end up having right nothing left on the inside all the seeds are out The white bits are out as well these guys. So what you can do is take your pomegranate shell and just put your The remains in there and usually you want to keep one hand clean right you don't want Both hands to have pomegranate juice all over it because you're gonna need this one other hand to do other things Because once you start this you end up probably you know do a few in a row that way you can put it in the fridge and Just keep it intact right or just keep it there for a while and You can enjoy it for a few days There you go, and sometimes the skin breaks right and if you don't cut it exactly in in half One side becomes the first one we did here becomes harder to get the stuff up because you do have to just do a little And take out some of the white stuff before the inside can pop out. So we're just gonna take another one Let's take another guy and usually wash these things before you go ahead and start doing this because you know Yeah, you do we need to wash your fruit? So what we do is again we take this thing and we're gonna cut it in half So I'm gonna take My napkin so never cut it never cut it with going across this way, right? You want to cut it in half sideways, right the top and the bottom should be still intact So take it You know align yourself that you're halfway through right just put a little dent in it and then put your rag or napkin on top of it and And look at this one very nice beautiful and This one I'm this time. I'm gonna do it with the metal That way you see what the difference is And it's more it's stronger right, but you have to be careful You can't go too hard with the metal because you don't want to break the skin right away and with the metal. It's easier It's got more of a kick to it and you do still have You know, you can take a look some of the white stuff in there, right? That's stuff you can pick out later or again. You can still eat them, right? Take another one look at this thing so red amazing pomegranate season Yeah, you see it comes out empty, right? there might be a couple left in there two or three left in there, but They're in pomegranate season You're not shy of pomegranates, right? So two of these things gets us about that much, right? And that's a fair bet. That's you know, at least a day or two days supply For one person anyway And let's do just another one. So I'm gonna take my napkin again. You can see it's all Red all over it cut in half So I lodge it in there just gently you don't want to go too deep because The pomegranate juice is gonna pop out to make sure you're aligned Cut it in half and again. Let's do one more Just so you get a feel for what the volume is on this And then what you do you hit it at the top, right? Once you get the seeds on the side done hit it at the top You can see it just pops out super fast Take the little bits of white out and every now and then you got a little pomegranate on the side and Three pomegranates gave us this much pomegranates, right? Fantastic and one of the best ways you can eat this well two ways two ways I end up usually eating this one of them is just straight up with a spoon take a little bowl This goes amazing with yogurt just straight up white yogurt Fantastic with yogurt if you can you know, it'll be a base can add a different fruits in there or throwing shakes or whatever you want the second way I End up eating the seeds is I take a pomegranate and this one's a little down and dirty but What you end up doing is just crack it open again again do the same thing cut it in half Okay, and what I end up doing is cutting it one more time now be careful with this right This pomegranate juice does stain on your clothes So when you're doing this you want to wear something that's darker Right because you don't if you get juices on there You know, you don't want to destroy any nice clothes that you have or anything light-colored And then what I ended up doing is cutting it into a quarter And once you've cut it into a quarter what you can do is just go Here I'm gonna show this to you guys close up. All you do is just go click Pop it out and these things are contained. It's sort of like paws, right? Take a look at this thing All right See this guy It just comes out and pause right so what you can do is Just eat it on one bite takes out a chunk of it, right? Fantastic so good and that's the second way I like eating the pot eating the seeds because There's something about just I'm going down and dirty on it. I'm just taking The seeds out with your teeth and you definitely do need napkin And you're definitely going to get both hands dirty if you eat it this way And that's what's left of the original pod that I showed you or the little little chunk, right and again Lost another one. Okay, so what I'm going to do right now is Eat this half one Take the rest of this and put it in the bowl with the smacking with my metal And I do definitely like the metal right because as you could tell it comes out a lot easier What we're going to do in the next video is I'm going to show you my favorite way to eat pomegranates or the way that I've done more often than not Since I was like a little boy eating pomegranates and that's Squeezing it and getting the juice out and sucking out the juice and it's absolutely Magnificent and you could do it anywhere and you don't get dirty You don't need any tools all you need is a pomegranate and a little bit of muscle and a little bit of patience, okay? So in the next video We're going to do I'm going to show you how I end up sucking up the juice Squeezing pomegranates and sucking up juice juice, okay?
