Why is it that watermelon is considered seedless as long as there are no black seeds?

Question

But there are just as many white seeds in the watermelon. my lunch buddies and I would like to know.

Answer 1

Blacks dont matter? *gives that guy who said it evil looks*

Answer 2

A 'seedless' watermelon actually has seeds, but they are small, white seed coats that are eaten along with the fruit .The seedless variety result from a tetraploid (female)chromosome.the black seeds are actually used for further cultivation, so the watermelon is considered ripe enough for new plantation and hence no longer known as seedless.

Answer 3

Because you can eat the white seeds without gastric distress afterward. There just arent watermellons grown that are truly completely seedless. I am sure eventually genetic engineering with come up with one but I think I would rather live with the white seeds.

Answer 4

I have no idea but isn't that crazy? Seedless cucumbers are the same way, they still have seeds. But you can easily eat the white seeds, unlike the hard black seeds.

Answer 5

Because it is hard to eat the black seeds you can swallow the white ones.

Answer 6

A fruit. generally green on the outdoors, often times stripped. that's often purple interior, it would desire to or will possibly not incorporate seeds. that's high quality and juicy. that's often obtainable for the time of summer season.

Answer 7

I don't know.... but it drives me crazy lol.

Answer 8

Because blacks don't matter.

Answer 9
