I love pomegranates and have read that the seeds can also be
eatened. I chew on the seed for the pulp and then spit the seeds
out. So do you just swallow the seeds whole? I can't imagine
being able to digest them. Thanks.

Just chew them like nuts.

Given how long it can take if you don't want to use gloves, make a
really drippy mess, or stain your hands (it takes me 40 minutes with
the big ones, but all I have to do afterward is scrub my nails) why
take any more time or work than that, if it isn't necessary?

I eat the seeds. Restaurants serve dishes topped with pomegranate
seeds. The chef can't intend for people to spit out seeds at a
restaurant.

Thanks for your reply everyone. I didn't realized that those seeds
were chewable.
I'll try it with the next pomegranate I buy.

I eat them too...they're crunchy and full of fiber.

I don't put the whole olive in my mouth and spit out the pit. I eat
around the pit and then discard it. I guess that doesn't sound much
more appetizing.

Just chew them lightly to release the juice and then just
swallow them. They won't hurt you. You will not end up
with a pomegranate tree growing in your stomach or
intestines. However, if you accidentally inhale one (or
any other seed) you could end up with something growing
in your lung. ;-) Okay, just messing around. Just
swallow the damn things.

I have this problem when I invited people to T-day dinner
who have never eaten pomegranate seeds before. I always
make an orange pomegranate compote which consists of orange
segments and pomegranate seeds and freshly grated coconut.
This year I had friends over and they just left all the seeds
in the bottom of the dish, even after I explained how to eat
them. Sheesh!
