I've never tried the white variety as we more easily get our hands on the red kind. For people who think of snacking on popcorn and peanuts is the real deal, they need to try pomegranates. If you could ever find the right sweet variety even with the seeds intact you would pass the time on a wonderful, healthy tasting snack. There are types that have a clean, refreshing taste, without the green and stainy factors. Throw in some starfruit for thrills.
