I have eaten many pomegranates before, it isn't really that hard. After you open it, and you see all those little red seeds, you just need to peel those red bits off or eat it like you eat a slice of an orange. You just lightly chew the red flesh part, and you spit out the seeds that are inside. If you intend to eat the seeds as well then you can chew harder. There is very little on each one, but there are a lot of them and so it's best if you chew a whole bunch at once

My wife just had some. You open it up & there's a white fleshy membrane. You then pull the pockets of seeds away from it. The seeds are covered with a juicy material you eat. Some people eat the seed, others spit it out.
