How do you eat a pomegranate?

What part of the pomegranate do you eat?
Do you EAT the seeds, suck on the seeds, throw away the seeds?
I know that the juice can be used for recipes etc.

I basically want to know what to do with the seeds.

Imagine if someone who didn’t know know to eat edamame (soy beans) ate the whole thing, or if someone who didn’t know how to eat sunflower seeds ate the whole seeds
That’s what I’m afraid of doing, so could someone tell me the proper way to eat them?

    No don’t eat the seeds..you suck on them, then spit them into a bowl

    Many people eat pomegranate by chewing on the seeds to release the juice from the sacs, then swallowing everything, including seeds. The seeds are considered good roughage and helps cleanse the body. In India, the seeds are dried and ground into a powder that’s used in meat dishes.

    Or, you can chew the juice from the seeds and spit the seeds out. One method to get only the juice is to vigorously roll the fruit on a hard surface to break the juice sacs. When the pomegranate is soft, puncture the end of it and insert a straw, then suck out the juice, squeezing as you go. Then throw out the waste.

    you just eat around the seeds and spit the seed out. it won’t hurt to eat the whole thing though, just wont taste very good

    Well basically how I do it is, I cut it up and let it soak in very warm water, and then clear the stuff off of the edible parts, and then eat or just put it in my mouth suck on it for a while, and then just…blah, spit it out once the flavor is gone, or maybe it will dissolve, etc…

    that’s how I"m used to it. they’re delicious though!

    chew the seeds you get the juice doing this. you can eat them you don’t have to throw them away. just don’t eat any of the white membrane inbetween the seeds, its very bitter.

    NEVER swallow the seeds. If you do, a tree will grow inside you. I would know…-.-

    You just chew on the seeds to get the juice and spit them out. I personally gave up on those things and just go for the juice. It’s cleaner and kinder to your fingers and nails.

    First I roll the pomegranate around to loosen up the inside. Then I cut a whole and suck out the juice that spills out. I actually do eat the seeds.

    I’ve had the seeds before in a hummus dip and it was great.

  14. Tinkerbell says:
