Making the right choice
But then there is another important question: how to choose a grenade? When choosing a pomegranate, one should keep in mind that not always its beautiful appearance corresponds to the inner content. Therefore, first you need to learn how to choose a ripe and delicious garnet.
First, evaluate the garnet by weight. The ripe fruit should be heavy. Given that there are different grades of pomegranate, its color is not of fundamental importance. It can range from light pink to bright red. In addition, the skin of the pomegranate should be dryish. If you see that it is juicy, then you have an unripe fruit. In ripe pomegranate the peel is thin, dry, uneven and as if tightens the corn.
So how do you clean it after all?
So, the pomegranate is bought, and it is time to think about how you are going to clean it. There are several quick ways how to properly and easily clean the grenade.
To begin with, grenades are thoroughly washed. Then we put on such clothes which it is not a pity to soil, or we tie an apron. And we take a deep enough vessel, into which we actually grab the garnet grains. If the dishes are shallow, then you yourself will get dirty with pomegranate juice, and stain the entire kitchen. Take the pomegranate in your hands and cut off the top (the part on which the "crown" of the pomegranate is located) in such a way that you can see its grains and veins that are inside. Then along these veins make cuts all over the grenade. They should be about 7-9 pieces. Turn the garnet with the cut side down over the prepared dishes.
There is another way to quickly clean the grenade. To do this, you need to do the same preparatory work as for the first method, namely, to wash the pomegranate, prepare a container, and put on an apron. Then take the pomegranate in your hands and cut off the top and bottom. With a sharp knife, make a shallow incision from one cut top to the other, but not directly, but in a spiral. After that, take the grenade for the slices with two hands, and turn them in different directions. The pomegranate will break on the made notch and you will have a swirled ribbon of pomegranate. And all the grains will be easily accessible. And they can be manually collected in a prepared container.
