Sea Greens attracts people with well-developed food opinions about which they feel passionately. Today one conversation started around seedless fruits and vegetables. You see, I was juicing a seedless watermelon. The conversation went something like this: any seedless real food in existence is the product of genetic modification and therefore incapable of supplying any nutritional value. Did seedless watermelon have a place in my business was the unspoken question? A pleasant disagreement ensued about the veracity of the customer's claim about seedless fruits and vegetables. And the bell curve seemed to be askew. I wondered.
Specialty produce's website at www. specialtyfoods.com states seedless watermelons offer some potassium and magnesium, is cholesterol-free, and low in calories, sodium and fat. Seedless watermelons also contain vitamin C , some A and beta-carotene. It did not state that watermelons with seeds do not contain the very same minerals. The preliminary conclusion is the caloric value of seedless watermelons versus watermelons with seeds appears to be the same. That is not a definitive statement about nutritional values, is it?
Can any of you experienced nutritional professionals weigh in on this? This makes me think of Seeds of Change, a great resource for curious readers. Rather than wait until I am satisfied with the answer to this question, I will post this musing and keep looking and waiting for input.
