I used to ,but now harder to find seeded watermelon.It is a stupid thing to do,to mess with nature and alter fruits and vegetables for convenience,and disregard the side effects of genetic engineering

No, you're probably confusing it with women swallowing you-know-what :-).
-
No, don't swallow them. Yea, the myth is if you swallow a watermelon seed, it will grow in your stomach. Good thing it's a myth.

No i cut them out as i believe they are poisoness! I thought it was the seeds of the pomegranate that had the myth, Persephone ate three seeds while held prisoner in Hades and that's why we have Winter as her punshment is to return to Hades for three months for eating the seeds?

Sometimes. i usually pick them out.

I chew on the then swallow.They are very healthy for you and contain amino acids.Even if you just swallowed them ,hundreds at a time they would do no harm or germinate.

I don't swallow any seeds in fruit, they have no flavor or add anything to the diet. I like just the friut.

No, I don't swallow the seeds, doesn't taste good. Yes, there is a myth about swallowing the seeds. Isn't it that if you do swallow the seeds, that you'll have watermelon growing out of your ears? +5

you can swallow them, i swallow the white ones because they are soft, but not the black one because of an episode of RUGRATS that made me scared of eating them! :P

I don't usually swallow them. You may be thinking of the "myth" that apple seeds contain cyanide, which isn't actually a myth. http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/apples.asp

I buy seedless watermelon! :)
-
I try to buy seedless but otherwise no, I spit them out. :)
-
I'm a good spitter!!
-
Hey I had nightmares when I was young as my mother said if I ate apple pips or seeds that a tree would grow inside me. Shudder
-
I eat seedless watermelon. If there are seeds ... I do not swallow them because, they are more fun to "shoot" people with! ;) I always tease my girlfriends when they are round with baby, "I told you not to swallow those watermelon seeds!"
-
One of them might actually grow into a watermelon inside you... Imagine trying to poop that out. Just kidding :) Unless you eat LOTS of watermelons, the seeds won't cause any problems.
-
Yes the myth is if you eat the seeds they grow in your stomach. That's what I always heard. Obviously that is false seeing when I was growing up I never had one grow inside of me ... my sphincter never would have recovered ... lol The white ones are ok to swallow because they are soft. However, the black seeds are hard and crunchy, so they may have an effect on you when they are digested. I try and spit them out anyway.
-
Sometimes I swallow them but mostly not. The myth that I remember was that they could get in your appendix and cause it to rupture.
-
Not on purpose. But I have swallowed a few on accident. +5
