Mohala, you always have the best recipes. Poms are not only really good for the immune system, but also good for your skin.

A chef friend of mine told me about an easy way to get Pom seeds out:
1. lightly roll the pom skin on the counter - like a lemon or lime
2. put the whole pom in between two bowls (rounded ends out and held together at the edges)
3. shake the Pom in the bowls with intensity for about 30 seconds
4. cut in half, turn inside out and the seeds should just pop right out

Also, my mom used to peel Persimmons just like a tomato - fork and dunk into boiling water for a few seconds then peel
