I had the opposite experience eating pomegranate the first time. So fucking delicious, but the pips were an unsettling crunch/texture that I couldn’t get over. However, it’s too much work to remove them from the pips, so no fresh pomegranate for me.

Its not bad once you realize the structure of the pomegranate. It also helps if you leave it in the refrigerator.

  I’d love advice for being able to enjoy a pomegranate. Does the pulp peel off the pip better if it’s cold?

    Yes, it also helps if theyre not override. The secret is knowing where to pull so an entire section of pulp or pips pulls away.

The way I eat pomegranate is like popcorn meets sunflower seeds.

Take a few of the pearls, pop them in my mouth, break the water balloon with gentle chewing that doesn’t break the seed, suck out the juice, spit the seed.

Pom is a flavored water fruit rather than a chew and swallow fruit. You don’t miss much leaving the pulp behind (and I’m not talking about the white rind) because theres not much of it to begin with. Its ideal for brainless time like watching movies. The prep is pretty easy, too, since the pearls tend to fall off pretty easily into a bowl, perfect for mindless snacking.

You can always collect the juice, or just buy it. Pomegranate is great, but it’s mostly just juice with seeds. Orange is very different than orange juice, for example, but pomegranate isn’t.
