Plz to be instructing me on the proper pomegranate eating proceedure.

So ... around once a year I have a craving for pomegranates, and every year I make an unholy mess of myself and surroundings.

I love the flavour, but dislike the ... woody texture of the inside of the seeds. I can eat a few no prob, but then get a bit overwhelmed at the build up of fiberous-ness and need to spit that part out. Sort of like sunflower seeds, but yanno, inside out.

Also? I can't seem to pull a few seeds/kernels out without sending at least twice as many flying out in different directions. I spend more time on my hands and knees searching for rogue seeds than i do actually EATING.

Today I ate it hunched over the sink, with the poise and grace of a zombie eating a particularly juicy brain.

Hints and tips and flat out crit welcome.

I got a great hint from Indians for peeling a pomagranite.

Get a collander/strainer.

Peel it and separate the seeds using the running tap. This makes peeling easier and keeps you from getting sticky and stops the flying seeds. While doing this dump the rind in your trash/compost.

There is no fix for the seed within the seed. I just eat the whole seed.

If you have a juicer, you can get the juice minus the seeds.

Yes, a few people have suggested doing it under water. Thanks! It honestly hadn't occured to me.
