So I just bought my first pomegranate and I'm not sure how to eat it. It's got a whole bunch of seeds...

Open it up, carve out the seed sacks. Repeat for a gazillion pomegranates. Juice these seed sacks.

U just break it & separate the seeds from the skin. And chew it, suck the juice & swallow it. It is rich in fiber and good for digestion.

Pomegranates are too much trouble. We had one in the yard, I got them free. I would never buy one. Get over it. All those bloody seeds, bah!

The arils keep for a long time in the fridge. I fleshed out two pomegranates yesterday and I have about a quart of arils. I like them in cottage cheese, oatmeal and granola.

Dispose of it in your nearest trash receptacle. They are not worth the mess and trouble.
