How to Eat a Pomegranate; Three Different Ways
A pomegranate is a fruit grown mostly in warmer climates. You will find it growing naturally around the East Indies, the Himalayas, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Africa and some of the warmer states like Florida, California and Arizona. These red fruits are chocked full of vitamins and minerals, including potassium, Vitamin C, Calcium and Phosphorous. They are also very sweet tasting and are a low calorie snack.
The flower and the pom fruit are bright red. The fruits themselves are full of nine essential vitamins and minerals including Calcium, Vitamin C, and Potassium. The average calories per cup of fruit is usually around 100, making this a nutritious and low calorie treat.
The outside of the fruit is not edible and tends to be quite hard. To get at it effectively, cut the top off and section it in several sections from top to bottom without cutting all the way through it. Now you can place it into a deep bowl of water and let it soak for about 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes, tear the fruit apart, still in the water. The heavier seeds and fruit will drop to the bottom and the white pulp and rind will float to the top.

However, many people choose to just eat the fruit around the seeds and discard the seeds, which once dried can be ground up as seasoning for a large variety of dishes. Some countries actually use them in soups and stews. They are also quite delicious if you simply top them onto plain or vanilla yogurt.
Another method of how to eat a pomegranate involves cutting the fruit in halves. Cut several more segments along the rind of each half without cutting all the way through it. Turn the fruit upside down and push or tap the back with a heavy kitchen spoon or spatula. The fruit should fall right into the bowl beneath. Then you can discard the rind and eat the tasty fruit.
