Cut off the “crown”, then score the outer layer of skin into sections.
In a large bowl of water, break apart the sections along the score lines. Roll out the arils (the sweet juice sacs surrounding a tiny edible seed) with your fingers. The arils will sink to the bottom while the white membrane floats to the top.
Strain out the water. The arils are ready to eat whole, seeds and all.
