How do you eat pomegranates?
It's easy.
First, choose a fruit that is heavy, bright red, and without blemishes.
For fresh eating, you can cut off the crown, then slice into the outside skin to open the fruit.
Then break it into pieces, remove the white membranes, and eat the red seeds.

Again, cut off the crown and slice into the outside skin.
Then soak the whole fruit in a bowl of water for several minutes.
Break it apart under water so that the seeds sink and the white membrane floats.

The juice can be made into syrups, liquors, and tart jelly.
