After opening the pomegranate by scoring it with a knife and breaking it open, the arils (seed casings) are separated from the skin and internal white supporting structures. (Separating the red arils can be simplified by performing this task in a bowl of water, whereby the arils will sink and the white structures will float to the top.) The entire seed is consumed raw, though the fleshy outer portion of the seed is the part that is desired. The taste differs depending on the variety of pomegranate and its state of ripeness. It can be very sweet or it can be very sour or tangy, but most fruits lie somewhere in between, which is the characteristic taste, laced with notes of its tannin.

peel the fruit and eat the seeds inside. Some people eat the whole kernel, including the seed, others spit them out. There are membrane layers in the fruit that are light yellow to the best of my recollection that you also peel away and find more kernels. As kids we always used toothpicks to pick the kernels out. It was a fun but time consuming activity.

You break it up into a few pieces, then eat the small red little fruits inside. Pick away the white pithy stuff, to get to it, and spit out the seeds. It's a lot of work, but it tastes great. Oh, and it stains like crazy, so be careful!

You eat just the seeds. They take forever to get out of the fruit itself, but it's so worth it.

They are good but a pain in the butt..
Crack them open and eat the little balls, then spit out the seed.
It is a ton of work just for a little fruit :)

Peel off outer skin, pull out little "seed". Pop them in your mouth and then spit out the pits. Time consuming but delicious!
I'm sure there are cooked methods but that's how I eat them fresh.
