Do you spit or swallow...

The seeds when eating a pomegranate?

I grabbed one at the supermarket and now I’m trying to eat the damned thing. There are seeds & skin & mess everywhere. How am I actually supposed to eat this thing?

Cut the skin with a sharp knife, like an orange. I do an equator and then quarter the fruit. Break the fruit into chunks carefully, or you’ll squirt juice everywhere and it dyes beautifully.
The seeds are in sections, you eat them whole, but peel off the whitish, papery skin that covers the section.
It’s a knack, practice. 😁

Any lumps are just asking to be spat out..

But a pomegranate is entirely made up of little lumps.
Maybe you need a mango instead.

You got me 😂 😂 😂

Neither, I eat them, because that's the whole point of a pomegranate. I agree with the pp's suggestion of cutting into smallish sections and then biting the seeds out. Or you could cut them out into a bowl and eat them from there.

Oh you knew what you were doing there OP 😝🤣🤣

The seeds are the bit you eat in a pomegranate.

Swallow the lot 😋

Cut it into quarters and then bend the quarters back. The fruit should pop off the skin in sections and any bits of thin skin can be picked off.

Do not wear light coloured clothing during preparing or consuming the pomegranate. They are delicious, the seeds are part of the fruit and a great source of fibre.

DM bought me and DB a pomegranate when we were about ten years old. Cut it in half, gave us half each like a grapefruit ... We pebble-dashed the wall with purple splashes

I used to eat the seeds with one of my nans sewing pins when I was young. Hours of entertainment

Wtf do you eat if you don’t eat the seeds?

Slice pomegranate in half, take one half in your hand, place above a bowl, grab a wooden spoon and whack the pomegranate . Enjoy, lovely fruit!

Thanks for the tips!

OK, I’m going for it. I’m popping the little pods against the roof of my mouth to release the yummy juice then swallowing all the little seeds.

Hopefully they won’t sting on the way out!

Are some people mixing up passion fruit with pomegranate?

I’ve eaten a pe Morgan are three times in my life Abd I spit

nice click bait OP 🤣 and you know it.
well done

Cut into quarters and turn inside out. Shake over a bowl then pull out any remaining seeds. Chew and swallow.

Peel them in water, no splashes and they all sink to the bottom for easy collection. I love a pomegranate and keep all the seeds in the fridge for chucking in with salads, cous cous, tacos, on cakes, anything!

Oh memories of my nana giving me a pomegranate with a toothpick to eat the seeds out with . Would keep us occupied for a while!

Haven’t had one in years!

That yellow pith is really bitter, though.
It's good to get every seed out and de-pithed, then scoff the seeds.

I was in Morocco in the 90s and bought one from a stall - it was much smaller and 99% seeds and 1% pink flesh.
I imagine that is how they started out until the cultivators got to grips, now we have these huge juicy ones with lots of flesh and not much pith.

I've only ever eaten the seed out of a pomegranate, I am confused now 😂😂

I gobble the lot
