How would you juice promegranates? . . . A standard

juicer? . . . That removes the seeds?

I'm seeing pomegranates in the stores . . . When I was

a kid, we loved to pick them apart seed by seed to eat

them . . . but that's too much trouble?

Does anyone sell pomegranate juice?

Sure, most grocery stores carry it now. Pom is probably the original brand.
