The way to tell that it's ripe is when it splits open. Yours may not have been ripe, yet, and I've never heard the trick of opening it under water. That may have removed a lot of the flavor, as well. Once it's split naturally, then I run it under water, just to clean it, and it breaks apart comparitively easily. It breaks into sections, and the seeds pop off into a bowl pretty well. Any seeds that aren't brightly colored aren't worth eating, and the staining danger will persist, but the flavor's quite nice, tart with sweet. If you prefer straight sweet, this will never be your fruit. Thanks for all the posts! We have a pomegranate bush in our back yard, and I _love_ them.

Try one again in December or January- the flavor will be much more intense. I always find that at this time of year, Pomegranates are pretty disappointing.
