If you prefer the fruit rather than the juice, buy fruit that's round and feels heavy for its size. Here's an easy, mess-free way to open one: Cut off the crown end; then lightly score the rind and membrane in four vertical cuts. Soak the fruit in a bowl of water for five minutes. Holding it under water, break the sections apart, separating seeds from membrane. The seeds will sink. The rind and membrane will float; discard them. Pour the seeds into a colander; drain, and pat dry. Uncut fruit will last up to four weeks if refrigerated. The cut fruit should last a week if wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator.
