How to select?
Pick it up. A ripe pomegranate should feel heavy for its size; an indication that the seeds are full and juicy. Look for an angular shape and firm skin. Good pomegranate has rich color, and has no cuts or blemishes.
How to store?
It is recommended to store pomegranate at cool and dry place for up to one month. It can last for about two months if kept refrigerated.
How to prepare?
The first thing to do is to slice the top. Cut it to quarters. Open skin up and put every quarter submerged and to get the seeds out you should use your fingers. Seeds sink while the membrane flows. At that point the seed should remain. You can eat the seeds raw or you can utilize them as toppings in servings of mixed greens and sweets.
