Description/Taste

The Seedless watermelon has the same trademark two-toned variegated green skin and juicy, aromatic sweet flesh as the seeded version. Though it lacks the large hard black seeds of traditional watermelons, the Seedless watermelon can contain small white seeds that are soft and completely edible. Seedless watermelons can be oblong or spherical and range in size from 6 to 25 pounds. They have a densely compacted magenta flesh that is crisp yet succulent. Look for watermelons with nice even color except for a yellow patch (not white or green) where it laid on the ground.

Seasons/Availability

Seedless watermelons are available year-round with a peak season in the summer months.

Current Facts

A member of the Cucurbitaceae family, Seedless watermelon is botanically known as Citrullus lanatus and is a triploid fruit. They are infertile, resulting from a cross between two plants of incompatible chromosome complements. Though the fruits are seedless, they must be grown from seed. Fruit development is furthered by pollination from a third party fertile watermelon. A rather complicated and costly process finally bears a fruit with no seeds. Seedless watermelons range in flesh color from red to yellow to orange.

Nutritional Value

Watermelons are renowned for their hydrating properties and the Seedless version is no exception. They are comprised of nearly 90 percent water and also contain vitamins A, C and B-complex group, iron, fiber and the amino acid Arginine which has been shown to boost metabolism. They contain rich supplies of potassium which helps prevent sore muscles and lycopene known for antioxidant benefits.

Applications

Watermelon is predominately used in raw preparations, but they may also be grilled or seared in a hot pan to caramelize their natural sugars. The Seedless watermelon is ideal for juicing and making purees for beverages, sorbets, soups, and sauces. The flesh is ideal for making preserves or jam, and the rind can also be pickled. Appropriate for both sweet and savory dishes, they work well in green or fruit salads and pair well with poultry and seafood. Complimentary flavors include basil, mint, salty cheeses, arugula, balsamic vinegar, dried coconut, toasted pecans and citrus fruits. Uncut Seedless watermelons will keep refrigerated for several weeks.

Geography/History

Watermelon is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa. Seedless watermelon production began its evolution in 1939. The first specimen was developed by Professor H. Kihara, a Japanese scientist at Kyoto University. Commercial triploid hybrids were available twelve years later, though they didn't create a large market for themselves until the late 20th century. Today, half of the watermelons grown in California are seedless.
