How do you eat a Pomagranite?

My3LilMonkeys replied: What does it taste like?

I've never had one either, but I'm looking for new fruits to try.

PrairieMom replied: I have no idea. I don't know how I can possibly crave something I have never tasted, but I totally am. how wierd.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: It's not easy. You eat the little red 'seed' looking things in it. I love poms, but I drink and make smoothies out of pom juice. It is excellent for your health, btw! Maybe your body is craving it?

luvbug00 replied: yep peel it and eat the seeds things ( the red jucy things) yummy!! Now I want one!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: be prepared to get really messy. If you crack one open...(or cut it )pick the little seed things out and enjoy. I love Pomegranites but my hands will be dyed red for like a day after..I agree with Aimee on getting the juice way easier.

mckayleesmom replied: I love them...our neighbor use to have a tree and I she would let me pick them and make pom juice.

mckayleesmom replied: Oh yeah.....they stain BIG TIME...so be careful and wear old clothes when eating them.

holley79 replied: Those are my all time favs. I peel them, then eat the little seeded part one little peice at a time. LOL

jcc64 replied: Love them- it's a totally sensory experience. Kind of harkens back to childhood, when eating was so physical. Can't really think of another food like it.

PrairieMom replied: alright, I have an old shirt on, and I guess i will be eating it in the kitchen! I hope I like it!

CantWait replied: Yum!! They're so expensive here. I use to eat them a lot when I was little. My grandma use to buy them for us all the time.

amymom replied: I used to cut in half or quarters and use a spoon to get out the little red covered seeds. I stayed 'cleaner' that way. I have been 'craving' one too. May have to go buy one tomorrow.
