Keeping this in view, is it safe to eat pomegranate seeds?
You can eat the whole arils including the fiber-rich seeds, or spit out the seeds if you prefer- it's your choice! The rind and the white membranes surrounding the arils are bitter and we don't suggest eating them- although some say even that part of the pomegranate has medicinal value!
How do you eat a pomegranate?
Pomegranate is an extremely healthy fruit. Many people pop them open, scoop out the seeds and eat them whole. Others suck the juice off each seed before spitting the white fibrous middle out. The latter group may be missing out on some of the pomegranate's health benefits.
