Now I don’t mean to get all weird, but for me there is something incredibly feminine and slightly erotic about deseeding pomegranates. Pomegranates have such a resonance with femininity through culture and mythology, representing fertility and a certain element of temptation. I’m sure there are some interpretations of the Garden of Eden where the fruit is a pomegranate, and of course there is Persephone in the Underworld. Somehow when deseeding pomegranates I feel incredibly calm, and feminine. I’m sure this all makes me very strange, maybe I’ve just been single for too long.
Some people find deseeding pomegranates quite tricky what with all the pith, but if you take your time and are methodical it should be fine. Some suggest bashing them with a wooden spoon to get the seeds out, but I really don’t get this. I have tried it and I cant say it made any difference, other than being messier and totally ruining the zen-like femininity of the moment. And I’m not sure why the spoon has to be wooden.
