With just a little thumb-pressure, any pomegranate fruit can become an Earth-friendly 'bottle' of juice.
With just a little thumb-pressure, any pomegranate fruit can become an Earth-friendly "bottle" of juice.Daniel joined the Serious Eats culinary team in 2014 and writes recipes, equipment reviews, articles on cooking techniques. Prior to that he was a food editor at Food & Wine magazine, and the staff writer for Time Out New York's restaurant and bars section.
The idea is simple. Instead of buying expensive bottles of pomegranate juice, do this old-school trick: Using your thumbs, press all over the pomegranate, bursting the seeds withinIt takes a small amount of care to pull this off, but it's absolutely doable. You just need to feel out how hard to press, which is enough to feel the seeds pop inside the skin but not so much the skin itself gives way.
Once you've fully squished and squashed the inside of the pomegranate, just about when it feels like the skin will all but burst, you're ready to enjoy. Now, carefully tear a small hole in the pomegranate skin and drink as if from a goatskin water bag, because that's still a relatable experience for all of us, right? If not, I recommend reading more Hemingway; you'll come to feel like it's a thing you know intimately.
Now, do I recommend this method for situations where you need a lot of juice? No, better to buy juiced pomegranate in that case, or use a juicer or a blender to pulverize and strain the juice. But for a single-serving sip of juice? This method can't be beat for its hands-on fun and Earth-friendliness. No plastic—just 100% compostable scraps when you're all done. Top that!
