What Happened To Seeded Watermelons?

Think about the last time you ate a real watermelon with real black seeds in it, because for most people it's been years, and there's a genuine strange reason why. Over 92% of watermelons grown in the United States are now seedless. They treat the plant with a medication originally designed for gout called colchicine, and it scrambles the plant's genes. Then they cross those plants until the melon comes out with the wrong number of chromosomes, which leaves it sterile. A sterile plant can't make real seeds, So the fruit comes out seedless, which means the farmer can't save the seeds and replant. They have to buy brand new seeds every single year from the companies that make them, and the seed is expensive. Now, those little white flecks that you see inside the watermelon, those aren't seeds. They're empty shells that never developed. It's a perfect example of how much our food is now engineered around the company's bottom line, not the farmer, and definitely not you as a consumer. Now make sure to follow because I share stuff like this every single day.
