Below is a short summary of how seedless watermelons could change our lives(or not.)

Seedless watermelons were invented over 50 years ago, and they have few or no seeds. When we say seeds, we are talking about mature seeds, the black ones. Oftentimes, the white seed coats where a seed did not mature are assumed to be seeds. But this isn’t the case! They are perfectly safe to swallow while eating, and don’t worry - no seeds will grow in your stomach.
The seedless watermelons need seeded watermelons in order to be pollinated and set fruit. In a watermelon field where they're growing seedless, roughly 25% of the plants are seeded varieties and 75% are seedless varieties. Hives of bees are brought into the fields to cross-pollinate from the seeded plants to the seedless plants. Without this cross-pollination, the seedless watermelon plants would not produce fruit.

now, lets recap how to choose a wm?

How to choose a watermelon???
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Look the watermelon over. You are looking for a firm, symmetrical watermelon that is free from bruises, cuts or dents.
Lift it up.
The watermelon should be heavy for its size. Watermelon is 92% water, most of the weight is water.
Turn it over.
The underside of the watermelon should have a creamy yellow spot from where it sat on the ground and ripened in the sun.
De-seeding a watermelon:
If you would like to de-seed a watermelon, here's a nice and easy way to do it.
This is perfect to dice up into chunks for a snack, use in salsa, mix into drinks or anything else you would use watermelon for.
Be sure to wash your watermelon and knives before cutting into it.
Cut watermelon in half, then in quarters !!!
Cut through the flesh of the melon along the seed line with a pairing knife. Now, lift off the piece you just cut out.
Using a fork, scrape the seeds from the piece you just removed and from the remaining flesh on the rind.
Storage and Handling of watermelon yeah!!!!
Handle your whole watermelon gently, to avoid internal bruising.
Wash hands.
Wash your watermelon in running water, rinse well and pat dry.
Cut the flesh from the rind, and cut into 1-inch cubes.
Place in covered container and refrigerate immediately.
Keep cut watermelon refrigerated until consumed, up to 3-4 days.
Choosing and Handling Pre-Cut Watermelon
The flesh of the watermelon should appear dense and firm.
Refrigerate to preserve maximum freshness.
Cover the cut surface of a melon with plastic wrap to prevent the flesh from becoming mushy.
Store chunks of watermelon in covered plastic containers.




Cool, right??
