While the Soft Seed Pomegranate has been around for a long time, it is only gaining popularity now. The skin is thin and has a pinkish, whiteish colour. When fully ripe, the seeds (arils) are dark red. Popularity has increased for these special pomegranates because the seeds are soft and virtually unnoticeable. That means more delicious, sweet juice and less crunch. 

Preparation Ideas: Unless you like having red splatter all over your kitchen the best way to cleanly deseed a pomegranate is to cut it like the second photo here, place the pomegranate into a bowl of water and deseed it there. Once you've successfully extracted all the seeds you can drain the water out with a strainer, pick out any white rind and boom, you have a bowl full of pomegranate seeds and no mess.
