    How to juice pomegranates: Cut the pomegranate in half and fill a large bowl with cold water. Break apart the pieces in the water and push out the seeds with your thumps as you break it all apart. The rind and white pieces will float while the seeds go to the bottom. Scoop of the white stuff and rinse seeds in colander, doing a final cleaning and throw seeds on a couple paper towels.
