Are There Really 613 Seeds in A Pomegranate?

The basis of Jewish Life is "Taryag Mitzvot," the six hundred and thirteen 613 Mitzvot, G-d given commandments.  There's a tradition that each pomegranate fruit contains six hundred and thirteen 613 seeds.  No, I've never bothered counting them, though others claim that fame.  But one thing I did notice.  Humongously large pomegranates, like those sold at the very end of the season, have a large proportion of inedible white.  Take a look at the fruit I photographed just below.

Now, look at this fruit, photographed in the same size bowl.  It's a smaller fruit, but it has a larger proportion of seeds, and the seeds are what we eat and get juice from.

This makes it pretty obvious to me that there may be the same number of seeds in each pomegranate fruit, six hundred and thirteen 613.
