How Do You Eat Pomegranate Seeds??

Sorry if this is a dumb question.....but how are you supposed to eat Pomegranate seeds? Do you chew the pulp and spit out the seeds or do you chew and swallow the whole kernal?? They look like red popcorn kernals, but the seeds inside are like grape seeds.  I've heard that its supposed to be good for you, but realized I'm a dummy and not even sure how to eat these things  

According to the Pomegranate Council, when eating a pomegranate, you should 'roll out the arils (juice sacs)', discard everything else, and then 'eat the arils whole, seeds and all.'

They go on to say that it is a 'personal choice' as to whether or not you eat the seeds. However, keep in mind that 'most of the fiber that you get from eating pomegranates comes from that little seed.'

In addition to having some fiber, pomegranates are a good source of Vitamin C and potassium. Keep in mind that most of the calories, about 105 calories for a medium pomegranate, come from sugar.

1) Cut off the flowery end of the pomegranate. 2) Score into sections. 3) Place in a bowl of water. 4) Allow fruit to soak for 5 minutes. 5) Break the sections of the fruit open in the bowl of water. 6) Allow the seed kernels to separate from the rind and sink to the bottom. 7) Discard the rind and drain the kernels.

i eat pomegrantes all the time, but i spit the seeds out! they are sooo yummy

I  pomegranates.  They are full of good things, bu****ch out because if you eat too much there are a lot of calories in there.  I sometimes put some seeds on top of salads and eat the seeds whole.  However if I am just eating the pomegranate alone I do spit out a lot of the seeds.  It's messy but the juice is so delicious!!!

I eat the whole thing, but some of my relatives spit out the kernels, so it's personal preference and where you are. Spitting out is odd in-doors I think, but lots of people pull it off gracefully.
