How to Buy, Store and Prepare
How to Buy and Store: When buying pomegranates, look for ones that are round and plump. Store whole fruit in the refrigerator, while seeds should be refrigerated in airtight containers.
How to Prepare: To get to the edible seeds (called arils), cut off the top and then cut through the exposed white sections of the fruit (but not through the seeds). Then, pull it apart into sections and remove the seeds, which you can eat or use in a recipe. For juice, put the seeds in a blender, pulse it and enjoy it in a smoothie. Or, the strained juice can be used as a marinade or added to salad dressings, dips and sauces.
