...Or are they just sold because enough people are curious and try them once before they decide that they're not really worth the trouble...Seriously...

goman...I couldn't help but notice you said you BUY them often, not EAT them often...How do you eat them? I pulled it apart and sort of grazed on the seeds, only chewing lightly so as not to crush them, as they are bitter...But then you've got a massive mouthfull of seeds and hardly any fruit out of the deal!

I also noticed that most stores around here only have like 12 at a time...

Sigh...I agree that they are quite tasty, and unique in flavor, but I think that the pomegranate is proof that God does not exist...But the devil might...

Ha! Ha! Yes, I agree that some foods are just too much work for too little reward. This is the same reason I don't eat hot wings or ribs. But, at least pomegranates are actually good for you. The juice is seriously expensive, but worth it if you are after the health benefits of the pomegranate and don't want to deal with all the work.

purely eat the seeds. bypass get the seeds out... a million) decrease the pomegranate in a million/2 and fill a bowl (wider than the pomegranate) with cool water 2) take a wood spoon and carry the pomegranate (decrease side on your palm) over the bowl of water 3) smack the pomegranate (stressful) with the spoon to get the seeds out 4) proceed to interrupt aside the pomegranate to do away with all the seeds the factor of the bowl of water is so as that the fruit around the seeds floats to the best. purely skim off the fruit and luxuriate interior the seeds on the backside!!

Yes! I grew up on them..my mom used to buy them all the time. I would usually end up staining my shirt though, since taking out the seeds from the fruit without squirting yourself with juice is difficult. I love pomegranates and miss eating them!! They are hard to find in supermarkets.

I buy them once every few years. They're very good, just a royal pain in the rump to eat, because of all the seeds. Have to be careful, since the juice stains everything and doesn't wash out... no matter how much stain stuff you use. Bummer.

Every once in a while i get a craving and I buy one to eat. It's like eating sunflower seeds though. I still enjoy it immensely. It's something you have to want to take the time to eat.

I enjoy pomegranates. They're a little work, but very good.
If you don't want to put in the effort, pomegranate juice is mighty fine.

I like to sit on the porch and eat them in the winter time. It reminds me of my childhood. Plus, they are rich in antioxidants.

I LOVE pomegranates.
Pain in the butt to peel, but there are tricks to it. ANd when they are ripe they aren't bitter at all. (a little 'green' tasting, but not bitter)

It's a pain in the butt to eat but not bad at all.
