Stranger still was thinking about what seeds will grow faster than others in your tummy and why as a child.

Most watermelon seeds are black or a dark brown, red, or tan color. A few of the smaller seeds are white.
So it was believed in my childhood that white seeds grow faster.

It took years to understand watermelon seeds begin as small, white seeds.

Over time, they grow into the larger, darker seeds we are used to seeing inside a watermelon. Depending upon when a watermelon is harvested, a certain percentage of seeds may not yet be mature, which is why you see a few small, white seeds mixed in with the darker ones.

But as a child science is not your recourse in matters of rumoured wisdom!!!
