Step 1: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the pomegranate into 4 slices.
Step 2: Place a bowl on the table.
Step 3: Picking one of the quarters, pull back on the skin at the two ends. This should push out the seed area.
Step 4: Pick out the seeds in clumps, pushing them away from the yellowish internal dividing skins.
Step 5: Peel off any remnants of the internal skins from the seeds.
Step 6: Repeat steps 3-5 for the next three quarters.
Step 7: Enjoy eating the seeds.

I usally slice the pommegrenade in too and scoop out the 'berries' with a spoon in a bowl. After that I only have to remove the white stuff between the 'berries'.

1)
Score the pomegranate with a paring knife. Don't cut it into segments, just score the "peel" or the thick outside of the pomegranate.

2)
Prepare a large ice cold bowl of water. Put ice in the water to chill it right down. This will help release the seeds from the rest of the fruit.

3)
Place the pomegranate in the bowl of water and begin to break it apart. You will notice that the seeds fall to the bottom very quickly while the rest of the fruit (the stuff you don't eat) will all float to the top.

4)
Pour the water and pomegranate through a strainer. Rise with cool water to release the small bits of rind still stuck on the seeds.

0)
Optionally, if you're like me and like to use every last bit of everything you cook, you could strain the pomegranate water into another bowl and reserve. When reduced, this water forms a sweet stock or base of a salad dressing.

I found this video of someone who uses the same process:

I worked in a couple of produce departments going through school and learned a lot of weird stuff about fruit and veggies.

Cut the pom in half.
Take one half and hold it upside down over a bowl.
Grab a spoon.
Hit the pom w/the backside of the spoon, use some strenght.
The seeds should fall down like rain.

no need to strugle with pealing and all the seeds and the mess, I use one of those hand held little manual orange juicers cut the pom in half and just juice it like you would an orange, no need to wrestle with the fruit you can just drink the juice, it can be kind of potent straight so sometimes I mix it with a little water or some other juice. My favorite thing to make is a pomegranate vinegrette with the juice, mix with olive oil and a little balsamic.

You really don't have to 'peel' a pomegranate. Large ones are the easiest. If you have a sturdy counter top, you can actually break it open by forcefully hitting it on the counter top. It will usually split open, giving you access to the seeds. If you feel better cutting it, it doesn't matter how you cut it. Just cut it in half or vertical you are only going to use the individual seeds anyway, so it doesn't matter how you open the fruit. I just use my fingers to dislodge the seeds; or you can twist the halves like you are squeezing an orange. Hope this helps.

You don't peel it, you just sorta cut it in half and scoop the globules out. Good luck!

The easiest way I have found was from Martha Stewart

NO MESS METHOD
Cut off the crown then cut the pomegranate into sections. Place the sections in a bowl of water then roll out the arils (juice sacs) discarding the peel and pith, leaving just the arils in the water. The water reduces staining and contains the peeling process. Strain the water through a strainer to catch the arils and proceed to use them as desired.

Instead of telling you how to peel a pomegranate, why not watch the video. Hope it helps.

Wow, apparently me and my family are unusual! I love pomegranates, and I simply slice off the top, pull off a bit of the peel, and pop the kernels out one by one eating them as I go. Fun AND tasty!
