How do the get the seeds out of seedless watermelon?

Answer 1

Seedless watermelons are self-sterile hybrids that develop normal-looking fruits but no fully developed seeds. The seeds for growing them are produced by crossing a normal diploid watermelon with one that has been changed genetically into the tetraploid state.

The seeds from this cross produce plants that, when pollinated by normal plants, produce seedless melons.

In seedless watermelons (genetic triploids), rudimentary seed structures form but remain small, soft, white, tasteless and undeveloped tiny seedcoats that are eaten virtually undetected along with the flesh of the melon. Seed production for these seedless types is an extremely labor intensive process that makes the seeds relatively expensive. Because germination of these types is often less vigorous than normal types, it is recommended that they be started in peat pots or other transplantable containers, where the germinating conditions can be closely controlled Once transplanted, cultivation is similar to that for regular watermelons.
For pollination necessary to set fruit, normal seed types must be interplanted with seedless melons. The pollinator should be distinct from the seedless cultivar in color, shape or type so that the seedless and seeded melons in the patch can be separated at harvest.

Because seedless types do not put energy into seed production, the flesh is often sweeter than normal types and the vines are noticeably more vigorous as the season progresses.

Answer 2

they don't... What happens is they cross a watermelon plant, with a different seedless plant (don't know which one) but then when the fruit grows it has no seeds... Thats the only way I know how to make seedless water melons.

Answer 3

The melons are bred to produce no seed; there are none to remove :-) You might occasionally see the beginnings of seed in them, but they will not generally be the large brown seeds that you usually see in watermelons - just flat, white vestigal "seeds" that are not capable of developing further.

Answer 4

Like seedless grapes, the fruit are cultivated to produce no seeds.
I don't know how they get the water out of ordinary melons, though.

Answer 5

you already know what you're able to do with watermelon.....positioned your vodka in it (severe, my buddies used to try this as quickly as we've been little ones, LOL, they actually 'injected' it in). After ingesting somewhat, you do not even word the seeds.....HA!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

I don't know who or why, I just wish they would put them back in. They're boring with nothing to spit. RScott
