Pomegranate juice stains!
So, you may want to cut on a plastic cutting board.

The pomegranate’s blossom end, the one that looks like a crown, should be on top.
Notice the gentle ridges along the outside of the pomegranate.
You should make about 6 cuts.
Elise Bauer
If you’re free to’t feel the ridges, don’t worry about it.
Use your fingers to gently pry bring up the pomegranate.
It should open easily, exposing the seeds (calledarils).

Continue to pop fire up sections.
If you’ve made 6 cuts, you could pry open 6 sections.
It helps to work near or over a large bowl.
Elise Bauer
So that as you initiate the fruit, any loose seeds find their way to the bowl.
Working over a bowl, use your fingers to pry away the seeds from the peel and membranes.
If you like, you’re free to fill the bowl part way with water.

Put the seeds into a serving bowl and munch away.
Remember to be careful about where you are eating them.
Seeds falling onto a light carpet and then getting squished will cause staining.
Eat immediately or store chilled in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
