So it absolutely makes sense to put in a little effort to deseed the fruit, juice them and enjoy straight away from the juicer or the blender.

Pomegranate or Anar is one of those beautiful looking and delicious fruit that is loved by everyone. Apart from juicing, pomegranate arils are also used for many culinary purposes like making desserts, sauces, syrups, jams and even for flavoring foods in Indian cuisine.

Pomegranate is a fruit cultivated from the ancient times in many countries.

In India a lot of homes also grow these in their back yard. Pomegranate is considered to be a symbol of prosperity and is also offered to the Hindu Gods during religious ceremonies, pooja and festivals.

During the festive season (August to November), usually most Indian homes have this fruits in abundance as they are in season.

How to make pomegranate juice at home

1. Wash pomegranates under running water. Cut off the crown.

2. Similarly cut down the bottom part of the fruit. This loosens the rind as it looses the strength on both the parts.

3. Make 4 slightly deep incisions as you see in the picture.

4. Hold 2 of the parts and gently separate them. Without messing up, the fruit gets divided to 4 parts. Pomegranates stain the work tops and even the clothes. A few disposable tissues or a kitchen cloth is helpful.

5. Remove the seeds to a large bowl, they come off easily. Prepare the other fruits you like to use.

6. I use a large piece of ginger as it helps to prevent colds since cold pressed juice is quite cooling to the body. You can skip ginger in summers. I squeeze a large lemon & add a bit of Himalayan salt too into the juice pot.

Consume pomegranate juice fresh before it begins to oxidize. If you prefer cold juice, refrigerate or freeze the seeds for some time and then juice them. Adding ice cubes dilutes the juice and reduces the taste & the nutrition values as well.

Tips to make pomegranate juice

Choosing pomegranates: Always choose the fruits that have a smooth blemish free skin with a fresh moist look. Avoid buying them if the skin is even slightly low in moisture or dried. It is hard to peel such pomegranates.

2 ways to deseed : There are 2 ways you can deseed a pomegranate. I have shown the first method in the step by step instructions. The second method is to quarter the fruit and then place each one in a bowl filled with water.

Deseed it in the water bowl. This method is great if the arils are firm. Avoid this method if they are even slightly softer or soggy.

Combinations: There are several fruits you can use in combination with pomegranates to juice. The most popular one is the apple pomegranate combo.

Since pomegranate juice is high in iron, combining it with fruits high in vitamin C may help the absorption of iron. So we normally use a lemon or or few oranges or apple while juicing pomegranates.

Equipment needed

Pomegranate juice or anar juice can be made in a blender, centrifugal juicer or a cold press juicer. A juice made in cold press juicer is the most delicious.

If you do not have one, you can also use a regular blender with a smoothie or juicing jar. You will have to strain the juice after blending.

Hi,

I like this website very much. Its so useful for new mother like me. I was really worried what to feed my 10 months baby.
I really missed at the time after my baby 6 months old. I would have searched this website 3-4 months back so that I could give her variety available on this website. It a really really helpful and a guide for me.
Thanks a ton.
