Can pomegranates be squeezed into juice? How to deal with the seeds

Pomegranates can be squeezed into juice, and the seeds can be filtered with coffee filter paper. First, cut the top of the pomegranate with a knife, then cut along the white film, and break the pomegranate apart with your hands. Use a spoon to tap the surface of the pomegranate, and the pomegranate seeds will naturally fall into the bowl. Put the peeled pomegranate seeds and mineral water into the juicer to squeeze the juice, and then filter the seeds with coffee filter paper.

1. Can be used for juicing

Pomegranates can be squeezed into juice. Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C, organic acids, pomegranate polyphenols and other nutrients. Drinking pomegranate juice properly is good for your health. Use a knife to cut the top of the pomegranate, then cut along the white film, and break the pomegranate apart with your hands. Put the peeled pomegranate seeds and mineral water into the juicer to squeeze the juice.

2. Treatment methods

The remaining seeds after juicing can be filtered out with coffee filter paper. Pomegranate seeds are edible, but they may affect the taste. At this time, you can filter them twice with coffee filter paper, and most of the seeds will be filtered out. If you use a juicer with a broken wall, you don’t have to worry about how to deal with the seeds, because the juicer will completely break the seeds.

3. Food taboos

Do not eat pomegranates with potatoes, crabs, or sea cucumbers. Eating pomegranates with potatoes can cause food poisoning. Eating pomegranates with seafood such as crabs and sea cucumbers will cause the tannic acid in the pomegranate to react with the protein in the seafood to produce a precipitation reaction, and the resulting calcium will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, which not only reduces the nutritional value but also harms your health.

Can pomegranates be kept fresh in the refrigerator?

Pomegranates can be kept fresh in the refrigerator, and the shelf life of pomegranates kept in the refrigerator is longer than that of pomegranates stored at room temperature. Pomegranates, a plant of the genus Punica in the family Punica, are native to the Balkan Peninsula to Iran and its neighboring areas, and are now grown in temperate and tropical regions around the world.

Is pomegranate a photosensitive food?

Pomegranate is not a photosensitive food. Photosensitive food is a photosensitive food that contains photosensitive substances. Photosensitive substances are absorbed by the human body and distributed to the skin through the blood. After being exposed to ultraviolet rays, they are prone to allergies, inflammation, pigmentation, etc. The photosensitive substances contained in pomegranate itself are very low, so it is not a photosensitive food.

Photosensitive foods include vegetables such as dandelions, gray vegetables, amaranth, fennel, shepherd's purse, radish tops, spinach, purslane, lettuce, and fruits such as figs, citrus, lemons, mangoes and pineapples.

Sunscreen and photosensitive foods include fruits rich in vitamin C, such as guava, kiwi, strawberry, etc.

In addition, red, orange fruits and vegetables and dark green leafy vegetables, such as tomatoes, papaya, and water spinach, are also sun-sensitive foods.
