As much as I love eatingpomegranates, I avoid buying them because I hate seeding them.

So I bit the bullet and finally tried out the tricks I’ve been avoiding for so long.

Here’s what worked, what kind of worked, and what was basically a hoax.

I figured I’d have better luck with this method.

And, again, there was a lot of splatter everywhere.

(Thankfully, I was still wearing the T-shirt.)

So while it kind of worked, it still wasn’t the mind-blowing hack that I was hoping for.

Since it’s submerged in water, there’s no splatter.

And while it may seem like a long process, it actually only took me a minute or two.

Pomegranate seeds add a bright crunch to this savory salad.

This fruity, nutty yogurt bowl makes a great snack or breakfast.

Chicken and pomegranate seeds may seem like an unlikely duo, but they taste great together.
