What's the best way to peel a pomegranate?

Question

I like to peel it all at once and get the seeds in a bowl to eat with salt and lime, but that takes so long!

Answer 1

After peeling or breaking, hold the fruit upside down over a bowl and hit the rind with a mixing spoon.

Answer 2

To remove the edible seeds, either score the skin and peel it back or cut the fruit into quarters. Gently separate the seeds from the white membrane with your fingers. Remove the membrane completely, it's bitter and will make your mouth pucker. And be careful not to get the juice on your clothes because it stains. However you eat it, a pomegranate requires some time and patience.

I often take a shortcut. I roll the fruit back and forth on the counter, much as I do lemons or limes, or thoroughly massage the whole fruit in my hands to gently crush the pulp and release the juice - always taking care not to break the skin. Then I take a small bite out of the skin and suck the juice out.
