Brief Description

The Secret Behind Seedless: Seedless watermelons dominate at supermarkets because they're so easy to eat. The good news is that they are hybrids--not genetically modified. Breeders cross varieties with a differing number of chromosomes to produce a sterile fruit, which has small, white, fully edible "seed coats" instead of mature black seeds. Some say seedless isn't as tasty, but you be the judge. If a seed-spitting contest makes your summer complete, however, shop at the farmers' market. Many local farmers go the traditional route.
