Em and I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Open-a-Pomegranate\" target=\"blank\">read the instructions and watched the video here<\/a>, then gave it a shot.  Pretty easy!  I didn&#8217;t have a problem removing the fruit from the rind, but I hear that if that&#8217;s an issue, you can put the seeds into a bowl of water.  The bitter pith will float and the seeds will sink, making it easy to separate.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I think about often as I shop for produce is how thankful I am for refrigeration, highways, and internal combustion engines.  Clearly the auto is a mixed blessing with the pollution produced, but imagine how much poorer our diets would be without modern technology.  This year, I am grateful that I can easily obtain all of the ingredients in my nutritious Thanksgiving meal, very few of which I would be able to procure without these modern marvels.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, Em and I agreed.
