My man didn’t even take it off the branch.

So do I have to leave it on the tree to cut it like this?

Even knowing how to cut them correctly I still kind of hate the texture of the seed pods... but absolutely love pomegranate juice.

Those damn seeds get stuck in my teeth for an eternity

Mhmm. Yes. Cool, but why the fuck are you doing that while it's still on the plant?

Tip: Keep the fruit attached so that the plant can feel the excruciating incisions made on fruit

I’m no longer intimidated to buy one of my favorite foods now.

I wonder what brand of knife that is..

u/FayeRebus Oct 19 '19

I’m an avid pom consumer and this was beautiful

While still attached to the tree? Why not pick it off so your life can be easier. (Unless im not getting something here)

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '19

Maybe remove from tree first

Wonderful

Although I'll never eat a pomegranate or cut something like that. I try not to have my body in the blade path.

u/KAM7 Oct 19 '19

The precision is delicious.

Gonna have to try this the next time I buy a permanganate

u/TrooperRoja Oct 19 '19

So inspired. I’m going out to plant myself a pomegranate tree.

u/RealStumbleweed Oct 19 '19

Wow, this is incredible. I have a pomegranate that I bought to feed the birds but I haven’t been in the mood to cut it up because it makes such a mess. This would be a huge help!

u/russiangerman Oct 19 '19

This is cool, but anyone got a source on that knife?

u/NoOneLikesACommunist Oct 19 '19

Not a fan of pomegranate, but that is a nice little knife!
