How to Seed a Pomegranate You can buy pomegranate seeds fresh or frozen, but it costs more than buying the whole fruit. We tested different methods for seeding pomegranates and found that our favorite method was to immerse the quartered fruit in a bowl of water while breaking it apart. By gently separating the seeds from the outer skin and white pith, the seeds will sink to the bottom of the bowl.
