seedless watermelon
Summer fruit, unpitted
A seedless watermelon is a variety of watermelon bred to produce no mature seeds, making it easier to eat.
The flesh contains only soft, white, undeveloped seed coats that are edible.
Despite the name, seedless watermelons are grown from seeds—they're hybrids that result from crossing watermelons with different chromosome counts: We always buy seedless watermelons for the kids.
