I like to try new things: Pomegranate

The last time I went to my grandmother's house in Kentucky, she had made a fruit salad that had pomegranate seeds in the mix. They were so tasty! Nowadays I hear all about pomegranates being a "super fruit" and all, so I figured it was about time I bought one myself.  
People only usually eat the seeds of the pomegranate, so the hard part is getting them out.
Grandma gave me a tip that I have used ever since I started buying pomegranates. She said to cut the pomegranate in half; then with a wooden spoon, whack the back of the pomegranate to dislodge the seeds. For the most part, this has been the best way to get the seeds out...just don't let anyone stand on the other side of the bowl! They might get stained red.   
God bless you and your food!
