So, I've been so exicted to try a pomegranate that I went all crazy at the store and bought five. Keep in mind that I've only had pomegranates in the form of very sugary juice. So, I juiced one, added some agave and just about fell over from the bitter taste. I actually chuckled at my reaction (imagine a very puckered face).
So, now I have four and I need to know what to do, so that the taste is not nearly as overpowering. I have a pineapple, apples, lemons, agave. Could someone please help me out? I tried adding some jucied apple and it did NOT help at all.
Thanks in advance for the help! :)

Do you have to juice them? They're very yummy if you eat the seeds whole. :)

I hestitated eating them because they're messy (or so I read) but I can give it a whirl.

They can be a little messy, but not too bad..usually I cut them in half and then spill the seeds out carefully into a bowl..I don't know if there's a better way to do it...enjoy! hehe

i cut off the very top of the skin, but i do not waste any seeds believe me lol. after that i put pressure on the skin just enough to break the skill around the middle of the pomegranate, and then i just pull it apart. then i just eat the seeds :) it's similar to the link but i just do it around the middle instead of so many little cuts.

Bitter? They shouldn't be bitter.
I had a nice one the other day. The juicy parts were beautiful and red. It was positively sweet! I ate it with sliced strawberries, and it was almost too much... like eating candy.
The pomegranate I had before that one, though, had very pale fruit around the seeds (almost transparent, with just a little bit of pink). It was more tasteless than anything (and slightly bitter, due to the seeds, I guess).
A good, ripe pomegranate should taste delicious!Let nothing which can be treated by diet be treated by other means. ~Maimonides
