Doesn't seem to and it's recommended by Bobby Flay (don't diss my Bobby ). I did it to see what would happen and they really just fell out in tact. If you are just going to eat them, it doesn't hurt them. They really just fell out of the skin with no problems that I found. And it kept my fingers from turning red when I did it that way.Wouldn't beating it like that rupture the seeds?
Totally worth the effort. Even Greek mythology contains praise for the pamogranite.Uh is this goofy thing worth all the effort or should the kids and I go outside for one last baseball game?
