Squeezing the pomegranate can make an eerie mess in the kitchen. It is best to protect yourself and your kitchen from the splashes at the beginning. These are difficult to remove.
Method 1: Use a citrus press
Use a sharp knife to cut the delicious fruit in half. Then squeeze each half in a citrus press in a circular motion. The seeds get stuck in the collecting bowl and so you only have your juice in the bowl. Then just pour the juice into a glass and you're done.
» Tip: You have to apply a little pressure to remove the juice from the fruit without leaving any residue.
Method 2: juice without red splashes
The juice can also be made very easily without splashes by kneading the fruit properly on the table beforehand. Here, the cores detach from the skin and later juicing becomes child's play. If the shell doesn't feel soft enough yet, you can help a little. Press the shell firmly with your fingers so that the last kernels come off the skin. Then you need to prick the pomegranate with a fork or toothpick and collect the juice that flows out of it in a bowl or glass. Every now and then the fruit still somethingpress together so that all the juice flows out. In any case, you will save yourself all the splashes on clothes, wallpaper and kitchen furnishings.
