There are two schools on eating pomegranates. First let me discribe the anatomy. A pomegranate is made up of a large number of red, juicy seeds surroujn ( Dumb terminal ) surrounded by uneatable, cream-white "rind". The first technique is to rip open the pomegranates and pick out the seeds for eating. This is slow and messy. Pomegranate juice is a perminate natural dye. The second method is to carefully juice the pomegranate whole. You can do this by either rolling it on a hard surface until the whole pomegranate is squishy, or you can kneed it by hand. In either case do so carefully so as to not puncture the outer skin. When you have the pomegranate as juiced as you can then puncture the skin by either a toothpick or taking a small bite out of the skin. Which ever method you choose be warned that the juice likes to come shooting out. Once you have punctured the pomegranate, keep kneeding it gentily and sucking the juice out. deryl@cca-unix
