Remove the pale arils from the fruit pods that were freshly picked.
Place the pulps/arils into a clean bowl. Then discard the fruit pods.
Use a knife to slit a V shape into the area where the seed is, then break out the seed. Now use the knife to pull out the red-pink membranes we spoke of earlier. Once the seed and membrane are out, discard them and put the freshly clean pulp into a new bowl. The seed and the membrane should never be consumed!
Repeat step three for all of the pulps/arils.
Wash the freshly cleaned pale yellow arils.
If you are ready to use them for cooking then go ahead and do so! One option is to boil it because remember we recommend not to eat it raw.
If you aren’t ready for them to be cooked then just store them in a resealable zipper bag and place them in the freezer.
