Pomegranate is a delicious and nutritious fruit, but how to cut pomegranate seems a bit complicated.
Fortunately, there are a few simple techniques for topping up this delicious fruit. If you’re slicing pomegranates just to eat, the easiest way is to use a knife to cut them into pieces and separate them. If you want to get the seeds, you can cut the pomegranate in half, then soak it in water or smash it with a spoon.
Steps
Pomegranate vertical
Roll the pomegranate on a cutting board to loosen the pomegranate seeds. Place your hand on top of the pomegranate. Use strong pressure to press down, while pressing and rolling the pomegranate on the cutting board. [1] X Research Source
- This step will make it much easier to remove the pomegranate seeds.
Another alternative: If the kitchen countertop is clean, you can roll the pomegranate on the countertop instead of using a cutting board.

Place the pomegranate in the center of the cutting board. Use a plastic or wooden cutting board when chopping pomegranates. Maybe you should line a cloth to protect the cutting board, as pomegranate juice will stain everything. [2] X Research Source
- In addition, you should also wear rubber gloves when chopping pomegranates, as pomegranate juice can contaminate your hands.
Cut off the top of the pomegranate (the top of the pomegranate has sepals like petals). Use a knife to cut off the top of the pomegranate, where the knob connects to the stem. Turn the cut rind on like a lid and throw it in the trash or compost bin. [3] X Research Sources
- You can also cut off the tail of the pomegranate. Cut which part is up to you.
Cut the pomegranate in half along the septum line. Look at the pomegranate and find the white lines separating the pomegranate seeds. Place the blade along the center septum line and slit down. [4] X Research Sources
- Avoid cutting into the pomegranate seeds, cut only along the white borders.
Cut along the contours into 5 pieces for easy eating. Use a knife to cut each white septum inside the pomegranate and separate. You will have 5 pieces stuck together at the bottom of the fruit. Cut each piece to eat pomegranate seeds. [5] X Research Sources
- You can scoop out the pomegranate seeds or use a spoon. The white core in the pomegranate has a bitter and fibrous taste, so it’s best not to eat it.
- Pomegranate when cut looks like a flower or a star.
Alternatively: You can cut the bottom of the pomegranate apart so that the pieces don’t stick together.
Split the pomegranate if you want to get the seeds. Use your hands to gently separate the pomegranate in half. It is possible that the two halves will be uneven, depending on the position of the septum inside the pomegranate. [6] X Research Source
Make an incision along the side of the pomegranate
Roll the pomegranate on a cutting board to loosen the pomegranate seeds. Use the palm of your hand to gently press along the side of the pomegranate. Continue to press and roll the pomegranate on the cutting board. [7] X Research Sources
- This step will make it much easier to remove the pomegranate seeds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a2/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate- Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a2/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Lay the pomegranate on the cutting board. Place the side of the pomegranate on a cutting board, the ends facing the sides. Perhaps you should spread a towel under the pomegranate to prevent the juice from spilling onto the cutting board. [8] X Research Sources
- You should also wear rubber gloves, as pomegranate juice will contaminate your hands.
Make 3 shallow incisions in the head, tail and center of the pomegranate. Make an incision in the middle of the pomegranate first, then make 2 more cuts about 0.5 cm from the head and tail of the pomegranate. Carefully cut so that the cut just goes through the pomegranate peel, not breaking the seeds. The pomegranate will not come apart after slitting. [9] X Research Source
Peel or cut off the head and tail of the pomegranate. You will be able to pop the peel on the head and tail of a pomegranate like opening the lid and throwing it in the trash or compost. Now the seeds in the fruit are exposed. If the seeds are not visible, you must peel off the porous core that is covering the seeds. [10] X Research Source
- On the top of the pomegranate, the sepals – as the knob or stem is called – may still be inside the fruit. Please take it easy.
Rotate the pomegranate so the two sides are facing out and continue to slit. You will make shallow incisions as before. Remember not to cut through the pomegranate to avoid breaking the seeds. [11] X Research Source
- This step will make it easier for you to separate the pomegranate.
Roll the pomegranate over to the other side and make a shallow incision. Just like last time, you should just cut through the crust. Do not push the blade through the pomegranate.
- By this time, the pomegranate’s intestines were exposed at both ends. There are also 5 longitudinal incisions on the pods.
Use two thumbs to separate the pomegranate. Press two thumbs into the center incision and split the pomegranate in half. Continue pressing two thumbs into the other two shallow incisions to separate the pomegranate into several pieces. You will have many small pieces of pomegranate to eat. [12] X Research Source
- You will see many delicious pomegranate seeds inside each piece of pomegranate.
Soak the pomegranate in water to separate the seeds
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/23/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate- Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/23/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pour clean water into a large bowl. Remember to use clean water as you will be eating the pomegranate seeds. Pour in enough water to cover two halves of the pomegranate. [13] X Research Source
Make a shallow incision on the side of the pomegranate. You do not need to cut off the head and tail of the pomegranate if you only need the seeds. The incision is only through the shell and not too deep so as not to damage the seed. [14] X Research Source
Use two thumbs to split the pomegranate in half. Press two thumbs into the slit on the pomegranate rind and gently separate. The two halves will be almost equal, but if half is big and half small, that’s okay. [15] X Research Source
- The seeds will be easier to remove if the pomegranate pieces are even.
Alternatively: If you want to remove the pomegranate seeds faster, you can make 2 more incisions to separate the pomegranate into 4 pieces. This will expose the pomegranate’s insides more and you’ll get the seeds out faster.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate- Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c6/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Drop two pomegranate halves into the water. After soaking for a few minutes, you should see white parts called porous cores leave the seeds and emerge. The pomegranate seeds will then peel off. [16] X Research Source
Use your hands to pull out the pomegranate seeds if they are still sticky. The white core will rise and the seed will sink. When the pomegranate seeds are almost completely peeled off, you can turn the shell inside out to push the rest of the seeds out. When the seeds have been removed, you will be left with the pomegranate rind like two upside down hats. [17] X Research Source
- You may need to remove the seeds if they still stick.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6e/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate- Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6e/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-19-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-19-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Strain pomegranate seeds into a bowl. Peel the pomegranate and remove the white core and throw it in the trash or compost bin. Slowly pour the water and pomegranate seeds through a sieve to filter out the seeds, then pour the seeds into a bowl to eat. [18] X Research Sources
Split pomegranate seeds with a wooden spoon
Make a shallow incision on the side of the pomegranate. Use a knife to make a slit through the shell. Do not slit too deep to avoid cutting the seed. [19] X Research Source
Use two thumbs to split the pomegranate in half. Press two thumbs into the incision and separate the pomegranate into two halves. You will have two roughly equal pieces. [20] X Research Sources
- If the two pieces are uneven, that’s okay, but if one piece is too big, it’s best to separate it again. You just need to make an incision in the shell and separate it into two pieces. This will make it easier for you to remove the seeds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e2/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-22. jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e2/Open-a-Pomegranate-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Open-a-Pomegranate-Step- 22.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div> “}
Hold half a pomegranate over a bowl, side with seeds facing down. Hold halves of a pomegranate on either side or place it in the palm of your hand over a bowl large enough to catch the seeds that fall. [21] X Research Source
Beat the shell with a wooden spoon. The pomegranate seeds will peel off and fall into the bowl. Continue beating until all the seeds fall out. [22] X Research Source
- Repeat this operation for the other half.
Tips: When you hit the pomegranate, pomegranate juice may shoot out. Pomegranate juice will stain fabrics and other surfaces.
Warning
- Pomegranate juice can stain everything. You should wear appropriate clothing and/or gloves when chopping pomegranates.
- Be careful when using a knife.
Things you need
- Chopping board
- Knife
- Bowl or plate
- Latex gloves (optional)
- Bowl of water (for soaking method only)
- Sieve (for soaking method only)
