What does it taste like?

The seeds unlock some of the most powerful anti-oxidants known. Same as grapes, pomegranates etc. It is a shame that she doesn't take the pulp and make bread.

Or, you could just put them in a juicer You can also take a few that you'd like to eat for a meal; boil them, split them and scope the middle right into your mouth (after cooling,of course). How about just boiling several for a nice tea.

Enjoy eating raw!

I've done this before and it tastes awful. I think it has to do with the blender breaking open the seeds and there's some bitter compound in the seeds. I prefer to clean them and eat them. or figure out a way to chop them out without getting that bitter flavor.
