For those who use it for pomegranates , Do you half or quarter the fruit?

I half it. After you buy the machine and use it a few times, you will know what size pomegranates to pick... Too bad they are out of season.

Hi it depends on the size of the fruit. I have 400 trees and the size very ( pom wonderful variety ) some are larger than grapefruits no way they fit so just be practical. I was at T-J max 2 months ago an found presses for $39.99 each so I bought 3. It is good to shop around.

We cut in half but it takes a lot of strength to press. I never thought to quarter them, maybe this is a good idea!

I am not sure. I haven't bought the Pomegranate. I really like the vanilla plum.

I would cut the fruit, it would cut down on the time they needed to juice. I like to use the pulp from the fruit to make fruit leather in my dehydrator, which is really yummy and nothing goes to waste. So, I always stone the fruit and cut out any bad parts when I am planning on using the pulp. I hope this helps!

2 3/4 inches. If my fruit is to big to press out I cut it into quarters instead of halves. It's actually easier that way because I don't have to muscle through as much peeling that way.

We cut ours in half or quarters and freeze them. I can say that we haven't had any problems with half frozen bananas. This blender has not disappointed yet.

It does a good job. I usually juice the apples and then blend it in the blender with kale and other greens. I've had no problems with it

I think 1/2 cup is a good convervative answer. If anything its probably a little more, but day in day out when you are working with them (because I don't fill them to the brim) 1/2 to 2/3 cup is a good ballpark.

I'm in New Mexico and have an atrium indoors. In AZ we had 2 standard pomegranate trees that did very well on simple drip irrigation-the birds ate most of the fruit though. I planted this dwarf in a pot, this way I can move it around indoors or outdoors. Pomegranates take well to pruning once established-you can keep it within a size that is comfortable for you.

The directions on the bottle suggest half or even whole. I use mine more as preventative, so I only use a small handful every time.

I personally like to cut some of the fruit at least in half. Yeah, seeds and all. Maybe not the peel of an orange and such. The great thing is, the vitamix comes with an instructional DVD.

Generally, the 800CPXL Die-Cast Citrus Press is designed for use strictly with citrus fruits. It is not recommended to be used in conjunction with non-citrus fruits, such as pomegranates.

Yes, and we regularly squeeze pomegranates into our orange/grapefruit juice. Use smaller poms, if you can, about the size of grapefruits, they fit the apparatus better. The bigger ones work, too, but it's my impression more seeds end up not getting pressed.

Yes, that's how you make the ratios. Make sure the entire plant has a milky coating. If not shake the mixture more to mix it better.

You can juice anything really except banana. Pomegranate might not juice well with it, but no problem with apples and carrots.

The basic difference is that it will separate the juice from pulp. We researched juicers for pomegranates and found this to do an excellent job.

Honestly, I would recommend the OXO reamer for that. It's amazing, so thorough and easy to use. The Amco squeezers are awkward, slippery, and difficult to use. I found it most useful for juicing pomegranates, but that's about it.

I give this to my children too just half of the recommended portion and mix it with water and fruit I use either apple banana or pineapple
