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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
