Fresh pomegranates are juicy and delicious, but they can be difficult to eat. According to Pomegranates.org there is a simple, three-step procedure to obtain the juicy seeds of the fruit. Pomegranates are available from September through to January. The fruit survives for long periods of time at room temperature when kept away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate the pomegranate to store it for even longer periods of time.
