Ok, I havn't had one since I was a kid but they were on sale last week so I picked up a few. Now I can't remember- are you supposed to EAT the seeds or just suck them clean and spit them out? I never ate the seeds as a kid... but I don't know if I wasn't supposed to or if I just liked to spit things :embarassed: hah, any advice?

    Eat the seeds but do not eat any of the pith - it is really nasty tasting!!!

    I soak mine in cold water in the fridge for a hour or so first, slice that bad boy opena nd scoop out the seeds, it is great with feta cheese on a salad as well..... a little raspberry vinegerette dressing and good to go

    I tend to eat some of the seeds (lots of fiber!!), but spit some out - kinda like a watermelon: you can eat the seeds or spit 'em.

    Have a lot of time, wear dark clothes you don't care if you stain, and peel it. Don't eat the white, like janigal said, but pick out the little seeds and suck the juice out and spit out the seeds. It's messy and time-consuming, but tastes soooo good!

    I didn't like the seeds as a kid, but now I like the crunch they provide. Really, they are so small, I can't be bothered to spit them out. :laugh: I second the dark clothes! Also, unless you peel it and put the seeds in a bowl ahead of time, I wouldn't reccomend eating one on your sofa!
