Step 4 of 7

Use the knife to split the fruit in half. Press the knife into the center of the fruit, aligned with the cuts you made in the skin. Twist the knife and the fruit should crack in half.

Step 5 of 7

Hold one of the halves in your palm, seeds down, over a large bowl. With the back of a wooden spoon, hit the fruit to dislodge the seeds. They should fall out of the fruit and between your fingers.

Step 6 of 7

Here is the other half. You don't have to grip the fruit very much, just let it rest in your hand as you whack it. This should get most of the seeds out. Scrape out seeds that are left behind.

And that is it! Super easy and kind of fun :)

The torturing of the fruit does make it yield its seeds. Best to do this when u need to relieve stress: kill 2 birds with 1 stone, or should i say: kill a fruit to extract its stones?!
