Though I have known about Pomegranates for years now, I have just started buying fresh ones. I cut it in half, and put half of the seeds into my greek yougert. Its really good, but I'm hoping you guys can give me some ideas as to what else I can put them into.

TIA!

    I usually just eat them on their own- but a friend of mine clued me into a great way to get them out of the fruit- use a large bowl of water- put the pom into it while you are breaking it apart- the fruit will sink while the stuff holding it in will float- makes it so much easier to get to the fruit!

    Adds a little sweetness and crunch to a salad.

    That's the edible part.

    To the OP -- my daughter just snacks on them plain. I like them, but I can only tolerate a few at a time because they're so tart!

    I LOVE pomegranates!!!! From late September until about February I have one as my after dinner snack almost every night. They are a bit of a pain but totally worth it. I get a large bowl of water, quarter the pomegranate, I just score the skin and pull apart, if you cut through it you'll get the juice all over your hands, and it stains. The seeds sink to the bottom of the bowl. Then I drain the water out and eat all the seeds like popcorn. Only problem is, they are about 230 calories each.

    I don't know... these do have a tart flavor, but they also have a very nice sweet flavor too. But then again, I guess anything has a sweet flavor when its mixed into plain greek yougert! lol

    They're definitely sweet, too. But if you eat enough of them plain, you'll see what I mean. :-) They're probably much more tolerable mixed into things.

    They also make a nice martini ...

    I eat them plain too, but only about 1/4 cup of the seeds at a time.
