OK so I got this beautiful fresh pomegranate. I have an insatiable urge to dig in, except for one thing... I have no idea how to approach the thing. I know it has something to do with the seeds (to eat them or not to eat them, that is the question). So I send out this plea to all of you out there who love live and have probably eatin one of thse darned confounding things before.... What on God's Green Earth do I do?
Thanks!

Re: Does anybody know how to eat a Fresh Pomagrante??!!
Tue, November 6, 2007 - 5:19 PMOk, I'll give it a try (even though I've never eaten a pomegranate before myself). I've hear of two ways:
1. Cut off the flowery end
2. Turn fruit over, and smack the hind end with a wooden spoon.
3. The kernels should come out.
If that doesn't work try this:
1. Cut off the flowery end
2. Score into sections
3. Place in a bowl of water
4. Allow to soak for 5 minutes
5. Break sections apart in the water
6. Allow kernels to separate from the rind
7. Discard rind and drain water
If you want to be really messy, you can just dig out the kernels with your hands!! That seems to be the 'insatiable' way, doncha think? -

Tue, November 6, 2007 - 6:54 PMhm... I've never really thought that there was more than one way...
I assume that because I'm insatiable... and I'm all about the 'instant gratification' I just rip it open and start digging out the seeds.
But, then, these days that just seems like too much work, so I buy the juice.
good luck! -
