How to Juice a Pomegranate — Or Use Concentrate

FruitFast Kitchen Guide

Fresh pomegranates can be juiced at home, but separating the arils and pressing them takes time. This guide explains the basic process and when a ready-to-use concentrate may be more practical.

How to Juice a Fresh Pomegranate

  • Cut the fruit and remove the arils from the white membrane.
  • Pulse or gently crush the arils just enough to release juice; over-blending can add bitterness from the seeds.
  • Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
  • Refrigerate fresh juice promptly and use it within a short period.
