It turns out that eating watermelon seeds won't sprout a melon in your stomach, the way we were told as kids! If you have ever roasted the seeds from a pumpkin, watermelon seeds are quite similar, except that including the shell they are only about 1 cm (1/2”) long, and the taste is like a tangier sunflower seed. Really delicious!
Keep in mind that the outer shells on these little seeds are harder than ordinary pumpkin seeds, making them tougher to crack - but trust us, the reward is definitely worth it!
