Three Methods of How to Eat a Pomegranate
Florida, Arizona and California are a few of the US states that grow pomegranate. They are of course more common in their native south asian countries like India, Iraq, Pakistan, Afganistan, and Turkey where the summers are very hot but the winters are cooler but not icy.
The flower and the fruit of a pomegranate develop beautiful bright red colors. With tons of essential minerals and vitamins, and only 100 calories per cup of the fruit, poms are perfect to eat if you are trying to control your weight or lose some calories. It is healthy and tasty.
The red outside shell of the fruit is not good to eat. In fact it is quite tough and sometimes hard to get into. The best way to open this fruit is to remove the top, section it without going all the way through and put it in a bowl of water for several minutes. Then pull the fruit apart while it still sits in the water. The heavier, fruit-laden seeds will sink to the bottom while the white inside walls and rind will float to the top. Remove the resulting top layer and drain the remaining fruit. Now you can eat it easily!
Throw away the white pulp and rind. Strain and rinse the fruit and put in a bowl. Now you are ready to eat it. You can eat the seeds with the red fruit. If you just eat the fruit and leave the seeds, (which is very slow-going) you have the bonus of being able to lay them out to dry. Once they are dried you can ground them up to season foods, or you can use them whole in a variety of dishes, including hot main meal dishes and your favorite cool desserts.
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.
Of course you could opt for the original way, which has serve mankind moderately well for a millenia now. Grab the fruit off the tree and peel back part of it with your fingers. Dig the seeds out, pop them in your mouth and eat. But be careful! If you do this at home, you can use a spoon instead to scoop the seeds out into a bowl. Be very careful of the juice using this method, it will stain anything that it comes into contact with. If you get it on your clothes, counter tops, or even just your hands it is very hard to wash out. - 17274
