It seems like a smart container, what do you think the item is used for?

Surprising?  It’s actually a seed removal tool for pomegranate. The device comes with three parts, including a removable plastic sieve, a steep-sided plastic bowl and a silicone dome. When using it to remove the seeds of pomegranate, you’ll firstly need to place a pomegranate cut side down on the sieve that sits in the bowl, cover the soft dome on the fruit and then hit it with a heavy tool. As a result, the pomegranate’s juice will go through the sieve and land in the bowl, while all its seeds and other parts will be kept on the sieve. Isn’t that great? Enjoying pure pomegranate juice without seeds is no longer a trouble now.
