My grocer said to hold it in your arms and hit it with the palm of your hand. If it sounds like you just hit a basketball, it's good. If it sounds solid, probably not so good.

i don't understand WHY things need to be seedless. everything has been so dumbed down for us that even food cant contain seeds and pits for fear of someone not knowing how to eat! everywhere i go olived have the pits removed, fruit is seedless...it's sad really.

^^^ Convenience. Pretty soon we will be able to buy pre-chewed food. Squeeze and swallow

Really! And without seeds, how on earth are we supposed to have a watermelon seed spitting contest? I was the queen!

Seedless watermelon must be planted in an alternating pattern with SEEDED watermelon, for pollination reasons.

I love watermelon especially when it used as a fruit shake drinks. Yummy...
