Thank you for this tip! Happy New Year Snack Girl!

Joanie, adding the cookie recipe to my Christmas baking. When I was little and my parents bought pomegrante we were told to put a few in mouth and get out the juice and spit out seeds, guess my parents didn't know you could eat the seeds. Wasn't that long ago I found out you could eat them. :-}

I have been wanting to try pomegranates but not quite sure what you eat. Do you just eat the seeds?

Karen

I love pomegranates, especially on my yogurt!!!

Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers

Amazing! Why has it taken me more than sixty years to discover how to seed a pomegranate? because Snack Girl has only recently come on to the scene!

Thank you - there is something new to learn around every corner.

Vivienne

Love pomegranates! I don't really have a recipe though.. I just eat them plain, or on some mango sorbet. Yum!

Kristine

I think pomegranates are one of those fruits/veggies that people get intimidated by because they don't know what to do with them. I feel that way about artichokes, rutabagas, kumquats.. (Do you just eat the whole kumquat or do you peel it?? I don't know!) I could google these things but I prefer the opinion of someone I follow, such as Snack Girl!

Here's another de-seeding method: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/448091/chefs_trick_deseeding_…

While it's an admittedly more aggressive approach, I suppose it's the price that pomegranates are paying for having been so cantankerous until now. :)

Wow! I never buy pomegranate because I had no idea how to do this without a giant mess. The kids will try something new and fresh for the holidays this year. Thanks Snack Girl, and Merry Christmas everyone!

I had just recently tried pomegranate for the first time and I loved it! Here is my pomegranate chopped salad recipe: http://partykitchen.wordpress.com/2012/10/17/pomegranate-ch…

What a beautiful salad, great to eat any night of the week and pretty enough to serve for guests! Plus my young kids were pretty interested eating it!

Colleen

Why oh why didn't I think to add them to bubbly?! (Runs out to get pomegranates now.)

Never thought of beer either. Win-win for hubby and me!

Carrie @ Season It Already!

Growing up in a middle eastern home, we always had a few pomegranates on hand. I like to eat them seeds and all. My uncle used to squeeze them to death, puncture a hole in them and squeeze the juice into a glass.

Izabel

I eat pomegranate on yogurt for breakfast. :-)

Debbie

Hi Snack Girl....I posted about pomegranates today too with some ideas for how to use them and my own "how to" on getting out those pesky seeds. All ideas you'll find here: http://www.momskitchenhandbook.com/fruit/pomegranate-primer…

Katie at Mom's Kitchen Handbook

I mix them in lemon yogurt. Yum, yum.

Laurie

On sale $5 for two of them at Wegman's. Nice big juicy ones too (all of their produce is lovely)

Leah

Oh, yeah! I'm going to watch this video when I get home. I have NO idea how to eat a pom! But I know they are a totally healthy thing to eat!

My two-year-old has recently discovered a passion for pomegranate. She calls them "pata-numa-numa-numa-numa", which makes me giggle. She loves the seeds sprinkled on her oatmeal in the morning.

My son and I love them. I usually chew up a small mouthful of kernels, suck the juice from it and swallow, and then when they are dried up I spit out that stuff in the middle of the kernel.

Zennifer

Add pomegranates and a bit of honey to plain Greek yogurt. Love it!

Britt

We eat them plain as a snck. Glad to learn this tip:)

Ilene

Chef John is the best. I learned how to cook, thanks to his videos.

Jayme Lynch

I tried the trick in the video and it worked magically! I loved the feeling and the sight of those little seeds gushing red into the clear water. I find pomegranate seeds to be a great snack to have lying around at any time.nsitting on the Internet is typically the time when I was do my snacking so having those little seeds to chew on really helps!

I love pomegranete seed in salads; great burst of sweet flavor and in a salad the centers are not noticeable. I use fresh mixed greens (other than iceburg) with redwine vinegrette dressing made with EVOL. I like to add sliced ripe bosc pears for extra sweetness. You can sliver curls of real parmesan cheese onto your salad for more flavor.
