I've started seeing plastic containers of the seeds alone just this year -- at Sam's Club first, now in the grocery stores.  I've also noticed that the "latest and greatest" way of dealing with a pomegranate is to remove the seeds in a bowl of water.  I've seen it done on TV several times -- most recently on FABLife.  I'm sure you can find a video demonstration on Food Network or online if you're interested.

 

I've never had a problem with eating the seeds -- guess it was always such hard work getting the little critters out of there that every bite was treasured!

 

I admire your prowess if you can eat one in bed -- I couldn't even do that with a tangerine!

I don't understand the problem with eating pomegranate seeds.  Don't people chew them?  Are you trying to swallow them whole?

The pomegranates we had as a kid may have been wild fruit.  The seeds had a little juice and a big seed.  Almost as big as popcorn and you couldn't chew it up!

 

I will have to get one and try it!  I'm sure they have improved.
