Pom might be good (and good for you) but nothing beats a real pomegranate and we just got our first batch of the season. The ruby red, the bursting seeds, it all just says Fall to us.
Pomegranates: Enjoy them
We love the idea of trying this pomegranate and orange marmalade recipe. But then again, just sitting on the floor and tearing them apart can be a great fall ritual. And now that we're all adults, we might try our hand at a nice pomegranate martini.
To find a good one (for eating), don't go for the most red, look for a browner one (this means it's sweeter) and pick one that's firm but has some give. You won't be disappointed.
Of course if you're using them for a centerpiece these rules don't apply. Check out the Pom site to see some ideas for wreaths, centerpieces and trees.

How do you eat a pomegranate? I used to live in Spain and my roommates would cut their smaller pomegranates in half and just tap/hit the side of it and the seeds would fall out. I tried this with a much larger pomegranate purchased in Los Angeles and not only did the seeds not fall out, but my attempts at getting them out made my living room look like a crime scene.

I'd like to know how to eat a Pomegranate as well.
A couple weeks ago my BF brought one home as a romantic gesture (we're both Midwesterners living in a mountain state - so a pomegranate is rather new and exotic to us)
We just sat there and stared at it after cutting it open. I eventually managed to squeeze 3 tablespoons of juice out of it.

Eating it is easy... getting the seeds out is the process.
Rip the fruit apart in a large bowl of water. The fruits sink, the membrane floats. Continue to rub the fruits to dislodge the membrane bits.
There are good pictures on the pomegranate council's website:

I like to add my fruits to guacamole and salads.

I like it in plain yogourt with fresh mint and a bit of honey - perfect as a sauce for cold meat.

You...eat it? I don't know how to answer the question of "How do you eat it?" You cut it open, pull the seeds out (or use a more complicated method) and then put the seeds on or in something. I like them on cereal or on top of a delicious dessert or salad.
