I remember my friend once munched on the innards of a pomegranate like a crazy person. I asked if he was drunk. He wasn't.

Its a delicious and deadly fruit. Grenades were originally based off the idea of the inside of a pomegranate. also very yummy and worth all the efforts

I always wondered why the french translation of pomegranate was grenade. Now I know. -learnings!-

The best way to get those awesome little podlings out of the fruit is to actually separate it under water, the waxy white stuff will fall to the bottom wile your seeds of happiness float to the top.

Love Pomegranates! I eat them outside with my dog (yes he eats them too..kinda) but when I come back inside my hands are all red and I'm covered in juice. I act like I'm a vampire and just attack the pomegranate. Done it every year for the past...five years. haha

Everyone is saying these things about the grenade being based on the fruit, that is too crazy! It makes the fruit WAY MORE AWESOME.

A Nice trick if you want to de-seed Pomegranates easily ;D

Would make sense "Grenade" is French for pomegranate. In other news, there's a smirnoff twister flavor called "Pomegranate Fusion". In French: "Fusion Grenade"

The best way to get the seeds out of a pomegranate is to cut it in half with a big knife, and then submerse it in a pot of cold water. You can easily pop out the seeds with your fingers, and the white membrane things float up so they're also easy to get rid of! Also the seeds don't burst. Pour through colander/strainer thingie when your done and voila! Painless Pomegranate=Achieved!

Wait, no that's not a euphemism! Like on Iron Chef, just cut them in half, hold over a bowl, and beat the outside with a serving spoon or something.

A while ago I used an online translator to find out what piña colada meant. The result was strangely applicable to these comments. It chose the colloquial Spanish usage and instead of pineapple, came up with 'strained hand grenade'.
To further tie into the comments, that is the same root that the word colander comes from.
Being an engineer at heart, I just tested the two competing float separation hypotheses: white stuff floats, seeds sink.

See, the trick is to cut through the rind until you reach that last thin layer over the seeds, then pull it back slowly. I've never had a pomegranate blow up on me, but a bag of frozen rasberries did once :)
