watermelon seeds
Spittable summer bits
Watermelon seeds are the small, flat seeds embedded in watermelon flesh.
Black seeds are mature and edible when roasted; white seeds are immature and typically swallowed or spit out.
The folk belief that swallowed seeds will sprout in your stomach is a common childhood taunt.
Seedless watermelon varieties have largely displaced seeded ones in American supermarkets.
