Step-by-Step Instructions
Pomegranate
- Slice the pomegranate in half horizontally.
- Hold one half over a bowl, cut side down.
- Use a wooden spoon to tap the back of the pomegranate. The seeds will easily fall into the bowl.
Kiwis
- Cut off both ends of the kiwi.
- Slide a spoon between the fruit and the skin, then rotate the kiwi to separate the skin from the flesh.
- Once the skin is detached, simply slice or dice the kiwi as desired.
Butternut Squash
- Peel the butternut squash with a vegetable peeler.
- Cut off the top and bottom ends.
- Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Mango
- Stand the mango upright and slice down along the sides of the pit to remove the flesh.
- Score the flesh of the mango in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to pierce the skin.
- Push the skin side out to create mango cubes.
Now you're equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle even the trickiest of ingredients! Happy cooking!
