How do you eat a pomegranate??

Question

Like what parts should you eat and stuff. . .the regular pomegranate fruit

Answer 1

Get a medium sized bowl (deep enough to hold your pomegranate) and fill it part way full of water. Next, use a knife and score the pomegranate along the natural lines of the fruit (they are vaguely hexagonal or something like that) so that it will be easier to pull apart. Soak the pom for a few minutes then, with the pom still in the water, break the pom apart using the scores you made earlier. Basically, you want to separate all those gorgeous little gems from the bitter pith that surrounds them. Luckily, you have density on your side. The pith isn't very dense and as you break the fruit apart the pith should start to float to the surface. Pick out the big pieces of peel and pith and toss them and then use a strainer to strain out the little pieces of pith.

Kind of a lot of work, but they are totally worth it. The sad thing, though, is that the biggest pomegranate producer in the US (POM) conducts brutal animal tests in order to promote the health benefits of pomegranates. So, I'm not buying that brand for now. Otherwise - best fruit ever!

Answer 2

Tricky eating indeed, what with all that seed, skin, and pith. If you've got an old fashioned citrus juicer you can make pomegranate juice in a jiffy. That way you dodge the whole seeds = days in hell problem. Seriously, In Greek Mythology the daughter of Demeter, Persephone, was forced to stay in the underworld with Hades for 1/2 of the year (six months) because she ate six pomegranate seeds. Stick with the juice/

Answer 3

don't eat the peal its quit bitter their is this thin yellow stuff inside the fruit its eadable but bitter the best part of a pomegranate are the red rubies if you want too you can eat the seeds too bot if not then suck on the rubies and spit the seeds out

Answer 4

Pomegranates are yummy. The pomegranate is the fruit that kept Psyche (I think) the bride of Hades for 6 months out of the year in mythology.

Answer 5

You eat the all the seeds inside the fruit. You use a knife to cut it in half. and then use a fork if you wish or just eat everything inside of it is ok. Someone in my family just had one tonight! Just don't eat the outside of it. The crust part I guess its called! And Enjoy!

Answer 6

cut the skin and break in half, pull out the seeds, then eat the seeds. You can eat the whole seed, you can also spit them out after you suck off the juice if you don't enjoy them. If the seeds are mushy, it's overripe and I wouldn't eat them if I were you, they should be ruby red and sometimes a few of them are clear, that's O.K.Oh and after you buy keep refrigerated for longer shelf life.
Enjoy

Answer 7

Hold it with both hands inside a deep, shallow bowl. Break it open and pull out all of the seeds, then strain them and eat/drink the goods. If you buy one at Walmart, they have one of those little recipe cards with them that show you how to eat them. They are difficult, but yummy.

Answer 8

You can buy the seeds already taken out of the fruit at the supermarket and avoid the hassle. Very convenient and tasty.

Answer 9

you eat the seeds, but you want the juice only. Chew it well and spit out. Make sure you wear an apron because it will stain so bad.

Answer 10

I used spoon. I cut it into two 'half'.
The red seeds have red juice in it.Squeeze it and press it inside your mouth. The seeds without juice will be spitted out.
