[Sca-cooks] pomegranate fresh arils

[Aruvqan]

I just juice the damned things, I have texture issues, and to me arils 
are soft and gushy, and to hit a hard crunch really bothers me. I mean, 
I have it to the point where if I try to swallow something that had a 
hidden nasty crunch in it, I yack it back up. I think it is in response 
to getting a fish bone stuck in my throat when I was 5. I just jetison 
the whole mouthful, I don't try and sort out the hard fragment.  
Besides, in my experience most seeds and pits are bitter when crushed.

I've been told a lot of the flavor is in the seeds, but I haven't tested it myself.
