What are the techniques for peeling a pomegranate

Autumn is the season when pomegranates are on the market. Pomegranates not only taste sour and sweet, but also have high nutritional value. They have anti-aging effects and are very effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases. However, pomegranates are difficult to peel, which is a more practical problem. When peeling pomegranates, you must know some techniques. For example, you can use a knife to cut off the peeled end and peel the pomegranate along the knife mark.

【method】 :

1. Use a knife to cut off one end of the pomegranate as shown in the picture.

2. Then use a knife to slide from the cut surface toward the bottom of the pomegranate. The depth of the knife sliding is the depth of the cut.

3. Then continue sliding seven or eight times at equal intervals, depending on the size of the pomegranate.

4. Run a knife around the center of the pomegranate and remove the middle part with your hands.

5. Break the pomegranate along the knife marks.

6. This way you can easily put it in your mouth and eat it, or you can share it with people around you.

7. If you want to peel out the pomegranate seeds, you can also cut the pomegranate into seven petals, with the cut side facing the bowl, and tap it with a spoon. This way, the pomegranate seeds will easily fall into the bowl. It only takes 2 minutes at the fastest. Isn’t it simple!

The efficacy and function of pomegranate

1. Beautify the skin : Pomegranate is rich in minerals and has two major antioxidant ingredients - pomegranate polyphenols and anthocyanins. It also contains linoleic acid, vitamins C, B6, E and folic acid. The mineral extracts such as calcium, magnesium and zinc contained in pomegranate can quickly replenish the moisture lost by the skin, making the skin brighter and softer.

2. Broad-spectrum antibacterial : Pomegranate has obvious inhibitory effects on Shigella dysenteriae, Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic Streptococcus, Vibrio cholerae, Shigella dysenteriae, etc. It also has varying degrees of inhibitory effects on various skin fungi.
