 So in the last video, we took a look at how we can get pomegranate seeds out and two different ways that we can eat pomegranates the seeds specifically. In this video, what we're going to do is I'm going to show you the main way that I eat pomegranates the way that I usually end up eating pomegranates and it's the way I've been eating pomegranates since I was a little boy because it's mobile. You can take it anywhere. You don't need any gadgets, any knives, anything really. All you need is a nice pomegranate that doesn't the skin cannot be broken, right? So the only thing that you require is a pomegranate that the skin is intact because what you're going to end up doing is squishing it and getting this to act as a container for the juice. So you can't have any broken spots in the skin. Okay, and this one seems to be good. No cracks, no holes Give it a nice little look, right? So it's a nice little pomegranate or nice big pomegranate So what you end up doing is slowly you take your pomegranate, take both hands and take one thumb on top of another thumb, right? And what you're going to do is take the ridges and you're going to press down on the ridges and you can hear it squishing, right? Initially it's hard but the more you squish the easier it becomes and what's happening is you're breaking the seeds and you're getting the skin to hold the juice and if you know if you press down on a ridge it doesn't want to give don't worry about it move along to the other ridges and You can switch thumbs if you want, but I usually just stick with one one thumb And then once you do I usually press down from this end of the thumb And then on the ridges anyway because they're the hardest parts and once that's done I usually press down with the top of my thumb in certain areas, but again, I used double fingers, right? And you got to remember right pomegranates as we said in last video is pomegranate juice stains and One thing that happens when you start doing this you get over excited once it starts getting softer you want to get more juice out you want to get more juice out because When you bite into this thing or when you puncture a hole and you squish out the juice The more pressure in there the more of a splash you get in your mouth and It's just amazing. Just fresh pomegranate juice squirting into your face. It's just absolutely fantastic But be careful right and again, you're not you don't want to wear anything where You know you care about it You're not going to do this with white clothes on because if and sometimes this does happen There's a weak spot in the skin that you haven't noticed and you end up squishing too hard There's too much pressure in there and the thing bursts and if it bursts on you You're gonna get pomegranate juice on yourself or you know on upholstery or whatever it is So be careful. Don't be too greedy. Don't try to get too much juice out in the first squirt What happens is it becomes easier to squish it later on when you start sucking it Now take a look at this thing as you can tell The skin is soft now right you can push it in See take a look at this and keep an eye on it because every now and then you get a little bit of juice coming out If you're getting a juice coming if you're getting juice coming out It means there's a little minute hole in there a minute fracture in there And it's getting ready for you to you know bite into and what you want to end up doing is finding a weak spot That you're gonna bite into and you're gonna squish it Now take a look at this So what I ended up doing is squishing it to a point where I'm comfortable that I'm gonna bite into this thing And what I do is I pinch it All right You take a look at that and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna bite that part off and Be careful with this because what's gonna happen is It's gonna squirt in your mouth. So you're gonna bite it and you're gonna suck at the same time And you get a little chunk out. There's a little chunk Once you reach this point you're gonna Whenever you're ready, you're gonna squish a little bit But you're not gonna go crazy again the way you did initially because there is no pressure being built up There's a hole so everything's gonna escape. So from now on what you're gonna do is put your mouth on the hole and squish and Squish and suck in the juices at the same time Now what you can hear is The inside seeds are not cracking So every time you suck and squish You're getting fresh juice out Now as you do this What's gonna happen is you're gonna get fractures Now as you get fractures, you got to be careful with those things, right? So avoid those fractures. Don't press on those fractures Or on the sides of them. It's just absolutely amazing Now for those of you that might find it hard Squishing pomegranates with your fingers because it does strain out the fingers I mean even even for me sometimes when I go a little too ballistic on these things After after doing a few of them a few days in a row. I find my fingers get a little bit sore So, you know, you can't go too ballistic with this with the squishing and if you do find it hard To squish pomegranates with your fingers There's a couple tools you can use one of them is a flat counter top and another one is just a simple spoon Okay. Now again, you have to be careful with these pomegranates, right? Because if they burst on you, they will stain and they will, you know, sometimes destroy things that you care about So be careful with these Especially when you're using either the counter top or the spoon because when you're doing those you're not feeling the pomegranate So you might miss a weak spot or you're not feeling it all over the place where you might miss a weak spot Okay, so what you do Is basically for the first method for using the counter top you want a nice flat area And I've moved over to the sink because just think here's the sucker burst I don't want it to destroy the table or the repository or anything like this, right? So find a nice flat surface and what you do is you're looking for the ridges of the pomegranates, right? Because those are the ones you're going to take out first So what you do is you move over to the flat surface and take the pressure on the pomegranates on the ridge And you press down on it. Okay, and you can hear it, right? And you roll the pomegranate around, right? And I mean just a little bit of rolling. I mean you can take a look at this, right? It's already squished and it's a really good method. You just have to be careful with it, right? and what you can do is Go to your pomegranate around the edges on the top and on the bottom. What happens is These are nice. It's basically a ridge going all the way around it So what you can do is put pressure on the end and roll along like this, right? You can see it's squishing. Okay, and again be super careful with this because once it starts getting a little bit softer You might now want to start using your fingers Because it's fairly soft now, right? And it doesn't take as long as it would just squishing with your fingers You just have to be very careful with it and don't be too greedy, right? Take a look at this thing beautifully squished right like so nice and Usually the pomegranates that have the biggest ridges. They're the best ones to squish For your juice, right? And once you're done this What you can do is do a pinch on it Right, and once you got a pinch. That's when you take a bite and you suck in the juice So we've got a pinch right there, right? You see it? So what we're gonna do is just take a bite out of that and suck in the juice Nothing like it. Absolutely. Nothing like it. And what you need to do is constantly check it Just to make sure there's no serious fractures and there where juice is gonna pop all over you Absolutely beautiful. And that's what it looks like, right? That's just sucking in a couple times two or three times, right? You can continue with this and continue squishing But the main burst you get is from that first first bite with the squishing Just taking a let juice go in right taking in the juices Now the second method when it comes to using a tool to do this is you basically take your Spoon, right? You take a spoon and you put your finger your thumb on it like this And you're basically using this as the pressure point, right? So you take this and Instead of putting the pressure on the finger on your thumb and pomegranate you're gonna use the metal and You do this with it, right? This still requires a little bit of muscle, but it's it's less than What you would need just with the straight-up fingers And you just go at it right just the same way you would When you were using your fingers just straight up with your fingers without the spoon Now what happens it reaches a certain point. I want to grab the plate. It reaches a certain point where You've sucked it enough and you squished it enough where the opening Starts to crack. You can see that crack there, right? And once that happens It becomes harder to get the juice out so what you can do is just take it and Keep on squishing it keep on squishing it and you can tear it open in half Whoop, and you got you got pomegranates out, right? You got the seeds coming out and I didn't do an amazing job of squishing this thing With certain this thing cracked earlier Than I had anticipated usually I can squish it enough where most of the seeds I have cracked open, right? So it's basically just seeds left in there. There's very little juice There's very little meat in there For this one right now. There's a fair bit of meat. So all I can do is Just flap it open and Just pour the stuff in right squish it squish it squish it and your seeds come out The other way you can do it is just grab a spoon Right and just eat it directly out of the you can do it directly out of the shell Or when you got your pomegranates up Now half these seeds are the pop the juice is gone the meat is gone and the other half is it's got meat on it usually If you do this properly if you're lucky enough where the skin doesn't break early you can basically Reduce almost all the seeds to juice that you would have sucked out so what I want to do right now is Grab another pomegranate one with with skin it skin intact No holes no cracks in it and I'm gonna bring the camera closer And I'm gonna show you how I squish the pomegranate because it it takes a little practice a little getting used to to do this Because you know initially you guys a little excited if it gets really soft you want to get as much Juice in there as possible because the first bite in is just absolutely amazing the juice is just burst into your mouth So it takes a little practice to get good at it But once you do it's it's absolutely amazing one of the best fruits to eat on the go really Because it's self-contained you take it you got fresh juice and once you're done you can you know crack it open and just Take the seeds and you know pour them in your hand or you know just eat them straight out of the shell half shell Okay
