Note: While seedless watermelons are much easier to handle, they are highly hybridized (the same goes for seedless grapes and citrus), which changes both texture & flavor. Hybrid plants are generally inferior to original wild plants, with less minerals and a lower life force. So for raw food purposes, they are an inferior product
