This allows for air circulation and water drainage. Keep the jar somewhere warm. In the morning, drain the water through the cloth, pour some more in, and swish the seeds around to rinse them, then drain it again. It should take just a few days for the sprouts to become visible. Next, dry the sprouted seeds in a dehydrator, an oven, or even just direct sunlight. Once dried, your homemade, healthy, and nutritious little snacks are ready to be enjoyed.

Can a watermelon seed grow in your stomach? What Do Seeds Need to Grow? What Are the Conditions in Your Stomach? Where Did the Myth Come From? I believed that if you bit your finger nails you would grow a hand in your stomach; I believed that if you swallowed gum it would stick into your stomach forever; and I believed that eating black watermelon seeds would result in growing a massive watermelon in my stomach.
Although I no longer spend time picking the seeds out of my watermelon, I never officially debunked that myth. I am taking you along with me to discover the truth: can you eat black watermelon seeds?
Before we get into the logistics, I will answer your burning question: no , you cannot grow a watermelon in your stomach.
Black watermelon seeds can be planted to grow watermelons, but your stomach does not create the proper environment for a watermelon.
If you're still a little nervous, chew up the watermelon seed when you eat them. In fact, you might want to chew it! A plant seed contains an embryo and a storage of nutrients carbohydrates, fats and proteins which is wrapped by a coat.
After a phase of dormancy, the seed will become active and start to grow. Several environmental stimuli can end the dormancy. This period is vital since the plant must know when to grow, preferably after wintertime. Through the water the plant gets its minerals from the soils, supporting the development. The larger the plant grows the larger the root becomes since the plant needs more water. In the same time a stem emerges from the seed and grows upwards. The seed turns into a seedling.
There are two ways a seed can grow depending on the species :. Hypogeaous germination is observed when a seed grows the part between the seed leaves and the primary leaves first. This way the seed leaves will stay in the soil and perform no photosynthesis. Epigaic germination occurs when the part between the root and cotyledons seed leaves penetrates the soil first and the seed leaves follow, recognizable by the hook it builds. Cotyledons are photosynthetically active until the primary leaves grow.
Once it breaks through the soil the stage of germination ends. From now on the plant needs more nutrients than given in the seed coat, the plant will carry out photosynthesis, a process in which the plant turns light energy into chemical energy which is stored in carbohydrate molecules.
It takes carbon dioxide and water and turns it into sugar and oxygen. Notice anything? Plants produce the oxygen we need to live! Seeds in general are healthy! I recommend you to dry watermelon seeds and peel them.
They contain a high amount of proteins, vitamins, minerals and the best thing is they are low carb! Next time your in the nature go and hug a tree, say him thanks for supplying you with all the oxygen you need. Myth or Fact? There are some superstitions in people's mind. But these myths can be understood when thinking argumentatively and scientifically. I hugged a tree a while ago, nature really respects you back when you show appreciation and love!
Haha love this! Reminds me of the Rugrats Episode where Angelica swallows a watermelon seed and it starts to grow in her stomach. Great post! I was about to comment the exact same thing, but had a feeling someone else was on top of it. Haha now I know the reason. As kids we always took this thing very seriously and I remember being paranoid after swallowing a couple of seeds.
Now I know they won't grow no matter how many I end up swallowing :. I love your content timsaid! This is very cool how this guy can back basically anything up with tons of evidence. This brings a smile to my face! I just told my two grand sons NOT to swallow the seeds!
They are 2 and 4! I love it. And I've got a question - I hope that you will not find it too forward of me. I'm also a science enthusiast and I'm going to start my own science series of posts here on Steemit I'm working on the first one at this very moment.
Can I link it to you when I'll post it? You probably don't follow me at this moment and I would really appreciate your opinion and suggestions. Probably it will take me a few days to post it, but I thought I will ask you right away. Thank you in advance : Cheers! I ate lots of sunflower seeds as a kid in Kasas; now im 6'4!
Don't mind alexpmorris timsaid I guess he is on some sort of psychedelic trip after your melon treatment:. Now I'm pacified! I always expected Jack and the Beanstalk to come true, having an immense watermelon tree sprout from my stomach upon the first touch of liquid ;. My grandad used to tell me that when I was a kid AND the vines would grow out of my ears and nose! Water melon seed could actually germinate in your tommy and grow just the way spider man from your catoon can come out and chase some kids.
I wonder, are there people who believe in this myth? Even if you ignore all other conditions like the presence of acid and the lack of oxygen, the next question remains: how long does it take for the seed to germinate?
More than a week is exactly I know what I'm saying, because I recently planted them in the garden. And how often does a person go to the toilet? The Gastronomical acid in the stomach can dissolve any orgnic thing including bones I wish i remember another name for that acid as i am on the street right now Awesome post!!!!
Just ate some delicious watermelon myself along with my dinner. Watermelon is so good for you. I remember hearing that the outside of the watermelon, the hard part, is best for you. Is this correct and how would you go about eating it????? Silly question but I'm curious????? Interesting read!
