the seeds are edible
theyre kinda crunchy, but if you dont like that, spit them out
its kinda like a reverse fruit

you just get the juice from the seeds. i don't think you eat the insides. don't eat the seeds either! haha

After opening the pomegranate by scoring it with a knife and breaking it open, the arils (seed casings) are separated from the skin (peel) and internal white supporting structures (pith and carpellary membrane). Separating the red arils can be simplified by performing this task in a bowl of water, whereby the arils will sink and the white structures will float to the top. The entire seed is consumed raw, though the fleshy outer portion of the seed is the part that is desired. The taste differs depending on the variety of pomegranate and its state of ripeness. It can be very sweet or it can be very sour or tangy, but most fruits lie somewhere in between, which is the characteristic taste, laced with notes of its tannin.

You have to cut the pomegrante and eat drink the juice from the seeds and you can chew the seeds but make sure not to choke on them or eat the seeds. You do have to spit them out though sometimes because they can get too tough and they taste kind of nasty . Just don't eat the peel it's like the rind of the orange or the peel of a banana that you just don't want to eat.

it is all up to you!

well u can peel off the skin and eat the seeds only. dont eat that other stuff.

I eat the stuff off the seeds and then spit them out. Be careful with the juice because it stains.

cut it in half and suck the juice from the little red seeds, but don't eat the little seeds in side.
nothing happens if you do though!!!

Being Funny take no offence

Step 1: Wash out side of fruit and cut it in half
Step 2: Take all seeds out that are covered in red
Step 3: Start popping those seed in your mouth and suking off the red and spit out the seeds


Throw away the rest
:D

Contrary to two of the other answers, yes, you eat the seeds. You do not need to spit them out, and I have never known anyone to do so. And I've eaten a lot of pomegranates in my day.

I think taht you should just chew the seeds and suck off the pulp. I hate to say say it but i dont think that they taste good enough to be worth the effort.

I peel them and then eat the whole seed.

I peel it back and eat the entire seed, juice and small pit. My husband chews until he has a mouth full of seeds and spits the seeds out. I don't think the seed taste like anything and they are so small you hardly could call them seeds. I don't know the answer to "what is correct", of course I think my way is...

you eat the seeds

you break it open (they're ripest when they're breaking open)
and chew the seeds. you CAN swallow the seeds, but, you don't have to.

Ewww!
I hate the seeds cos, to me, they taste kinda bitter.
But, the pink flesh is niiice.

Pomegranate juice is also v good...
God knows how they get all that juice from those pathetic little kernels!
Yeh, all you do is rip the pomegranate open and eat the little balls in there.
