I eat a lot of these, actually, I drink them. I juice
them with a regular old hand juicer, not much trickier
than a grapefruit, really. 

The downside is they're pricey. But this is the time
of year for them, and they're delicious and
ridiculously good for you. Drink them out of a wine
glass and you'll feel more like you've gotten your
money's worth. They look the part, and one pomegranate
more or less yields a scant red wine glass.

They also have a long and distinguished history, for
those who like that in a fruit:

Do be careful, though, Pomegranates have been know to
cause supernatural trouble. Besides the Persephone
story mentioned in the above link, some traditions
hold that the "apple" in the garden of eden was more
likely a pomegranate (though others hold that it was
the fruit of the tree of life, so I guess it's a
wash).
