Idd... this is just moving the mess to another place.

I learned this method in the US before I came to Thailand. Here, pomegranates are much more common and cheap, so I eat them pretty regularly. The weird thing is that here, they are dead easy to open, and way less messy. I'm not sure if it is just a difference in the level of ripeness, or if they are a different variety, or what. The kernels are more clear with a slight rosy tint to some of them, as opposed to deep red like in the US. Most importantly, squeezing them doesn't release juice as easily. You can handle the membranes and pick out kernels without much risk of popping them at all. And the taste, excellent!

"I like to eat 'em with beer, like potato chips."

Never was the phrase "ass-plosion" more apt.

i love eating pomegranate but after eating like 10 kernels/seeds/whatever they are called, my mouth is tired and tounge is in blisters.

Hah, this is the same guy that made the overly condescending Perfect Mashed Potato video:

I have seriously wanted this information my entire life but didn't know it until I saw it here. THANK YOU INTERNET AND VIDEOSIFT!!!

I love pomegranates. I look forward to them every holiday season just as I look forward to the eggnog. And all these years I've never known the proper way to get at those seeds without making a major mess.

But now I know.
