seedless fruit

Grapes without seeds

Seedless fruit is fruit that develops without forming mature seeds, or with seeds so small and soft they're unnoticeable.

Grapes, watermelons, and certain citrus varieties are commonly bred or cultivated to be seedless: seedless grapes are easier for snacking.

The trait results from specific breeding techniques or natural mutations that prevent normal seed development.
