I almost bought a pomegranate at Aldi's the other day. I am not quite sure how to eat one!

We're spoiled in NY. They sell the pomegranate seeds in plastic containers. Great for us lazy people. Check out this video on how to actually get the seeds out of one:

@@Inner Surfer Girl and @@Alex Brecher,

Useful video aside, any self-respecting child will somehow break open a pomegranate (mothers come in handy for this) and put its eager little face right into the fruit to extract several bits at a time.

ISG, the sweet-tart taste of the pulp is a good contrast in many whole-meal or side salad combinations.

Even for an adult, Alex, where's the fun in buying a container of seeds? You must now choose your punishment, either a refresher bar mitzvah lesson or walking the plank.

I no longer put my face in. A spoon does nicely.

Ohhhh. The pomegranate is the first thing on my list when I leave downtown today!

@@Alex Brecher

costco sells packs of the seeds.

Great when using them for a recipe.

However, completely agree with

@WLSResources/Clothing Exch

When it comes to EATING a pomegranate-

I cut mine in quarters and then extend the sides of a quarter to expose the red beauties.

That pith though! Ugh! Oy! So bitter!!!

Hag Samehah (sp?) and Shanah Tovah to all of my fellow Jewish peeps! Wishing everyone much love, peace and joy in this New Year! ❤️✡️❤️

Transliteration is a puzzlement. I've only seen "sameach," but your version works just as well.

I like your screen name.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
