Pomegranate logging help!

NobodyPutsAmyInTheCorner · May 2015

So, usually I have a pre packaged pack of pomegranate seeds but tonight I've scoffed an actual pomegranate. I couldn't weigh the fruit as a whole as most of it is waste and you don't eat it. Couldn't weigh the seeds as you sort of eat them
Out of the fruit.

80g is usually about 44 calories. Anyone ever actually weighed the fruit out of their pomegranate to give me a rough guess? Lol I'm thinking go for 100 calories just to be safe?

Next time weigh the whole fruit and then subtract the weight of the leftover bits after you're finished...

Ha! Didn't think of that. Too late to use my brain clearly

Works for corn on the cob too.

Oh cool. I just bought some corn on the cob and was wondering how to log it.

I usually break apart a pomegranate in a bowl of water. The seeds sink to the bottom and the waxy pulp floats. You can then easily weigh the seeds.

That's what I've always done.

Yep. This is it, rather than guessing.
