seedlessness

Lacking reproductive kernels

Seedlessness is the quality or condition of lacking seeds, typically describing fruits bred or engineered to be more convenient for eating.

Grapes, watermelons, and citrus fruits are commonly cultivated for seedlessness, which consumers generally prefer despite the fact that such varieties must be propagated through cuttings or grafting rather than planting.

The seedlessness of these oranges makes them perfect for juicing.
