How Are Seedless Watermelons Grown?
If you've enjoyed a delicious seedless watermelon, you might wonder how the watermelon are grown. It starts by treating watermelon seeds with a chemical that makes the seed have 4 times the normal number of chromosomes. After planting, when this watermelon flowers, it receives pollen from a normal watermelon. The result is a fruit that has few seeds....and even if it has seeds, they are crunchy and eminently edible. Enjoy!
