A manually actuated juicing tool used to insert directly into a pomegranate fruit cut horizontally in half. Once cut horizontally, the pomegranate reveals sections of collected sacks known as arils. The tool has a rigid horizontal handle that the user grasps with one hand. A round mid-shaft projects down from the handle a distance sufficient to allow the tool to be projected down to the base of the husk of the fruit while leaving the handle above the husk. At the base of the mid-shaft are one or more tines running out and horizontal to the mid-shaft at a gradual angle reaching an approximate 45 degree angle to the mid-shaft. The tine at its outward end is convex to match the symmetry of the husk of the fruit. The tine's outward edge is also sharpened to form a point or blade, thereby allowing the wall of the husk to be scraped by the tine bursting any arils lodged into the husk of the fruit. On the bottom of the tine are tiny spikes used to pierce the arils and cut into the rind of the fruit to reach embedded arils. The tine also contains small vertical holes to render the juice above the tine leaving all solids beneath. User the liquefies each section of the fruit then removes the tool. The user then pours the liquid in a glass for human consumption as a juice.
