How to remove most of the seeds when cutting up a watermelon

Step 1 Cut off both ends of the melon



Make cuts lengthwise 3-4 inches deep and 4 inches apart



Break along seed line



Remove seeds
If all was done right, your strip should have broke on the seed line.
Take a spoon and scrape the seeds off. Don't worry about removing some of the melon around the seeds because it is usually overripe and mushy anyways. Some people think this wasteful but it is an undesirable part of the melon



Slice to serve
Once seeds are removed cut up the remainder of the strip into pieces to serve. Repeat the process for each remaining strip.
As you continue you will notice that the center of the melon is remaining. Clean the seeds off it and cut it up. This center section is the prime part so put it in a separate bowl and save it for yourself.

Come on gator you know down south you cant eat watermelon without having a seed spittin contest.  And it anit no fun if you pick the seeds outta a jar.

Watermelon is one of my favorites and i don't wanna do anything that might compromise my meat to rind ratio.  I'll spit the seeds.  Watch out, my record is 12.3 yards.

:)) :))  You know, it's absolutely humiliating to go into a restaurant that has a salad bar, or serves fruit (watermelon) with the meals because my husband, after taking a BIG bite of watermelon and stratically seperating the seeds from the flesh with his tongue, will then lean way down over his plate and spit the seeds out.  Just embarassing as all get it.   :OO

I don't chew them, but I just swallow them. Think about all the other seeds we eat. Watermelon is way to good to have to work at it.

I just rememberd that when I was pregnant with my son, hubby and I went to visit some friends out in Sylmar and the guy said "what  did you do swallow a watermelon seed?"  :))  so I do not swallow the seeds!! :)) :))

No, thank goodness.We were either here in FL (the first time) or up in San Jose.  But our friends house looked like cracked hardboiled egg shell.  They are still there, too.
