Watermelon Seeds: Myth vs. Fact – What Really Happens When You Eat Them?
Watermelon Wonders: Debunking Seed Myths and Growing Your Own Many of us have heard the childhood tale: eat a watermelon seed, and a plant will sprout in your stomach. A recent video by content creator maudtambellini humorously debunks this enduring myth, offering factual insights into what truly happens when you consume those tiny black (or white) seeds. According to the video, watermelon seeds typically pass through the digestive system without issue. While an exceptionally large quantity might cause minor discomfort, there's no risk of internal plant growth. Beyond their harmless nature, these often-discarded seeds actually pack a nutritional punch, containing beneficial elements like zinc and magnesium. Some enthusiasts even roast them for a healthy, crunchy snack. The video further clarifies the distinction between black and white seeds. Black seeds are mature and viable, capable of germinating if planted in suitable conditions. White seeds, on the other hand, are immature and will not grow. For those with a green thumb, planting a black watermelon seed in warm, well-watered soil can lead to germination within 7 to 10 days, with the first watermelon potentially appearing in about two and a half to three months. However, success largely depends on a sunny and warm climate, making it easier in regions like Nice compared to cooler areas like Caen.
