Do you eat the seeds in watermelon?

It is so much effort to pick them all out… and very messy! :watermelon:

I had this conversation not long ago, with @firemonkey. He said he eats the seeds. Whereas I tend to pick them out. I rarely swallow even grape seeds, yes I’m that squeamish.

Do you worry that a watermelon will start growing inside you? :stuck_out_tongue:

No, I don’t go that far with my worries, I simply don’t like eating them that’s all.
Besides, I have trouble swallowing my pills too. I tend to chew them. I think it’s called pharmacophobia or something like that…

or out your ears?

did you really just set that joke up for yourself?

I ask that the seeds grow inside me. I say, little seed you grow into a creeping plant and clean out my entire intestines. But it never happens.

Funnily enough, I do. Watermelon seeds aren’t that big. With Melon I half and quarter into sections and scoop out the seeds and pith.
Pomegranate seeds are so hard! :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I do not. But I rub it on my face. I try not to make it weird, but you know…

I used to rub my friends’ faces with a banana at college to creep them out :laughing: Not weird at all…

Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing.

Yes, I am not afraid of pills per se, I can play with them, look at them, taste them, chew them. I’m simply afraid of swallowing them whole. My throat may be capable of it, but psychologically I just can’t make myself do it…

I buy watermelon :watermelon: without seeds.
I like to eat some tiny seeds with no problem.
