Watermelon and goldfish have gotten me through these sick days. It's a great combo.

Watermelon with chilly lime 🤤🤌

sexy

I approve ✅

That looks like a good combo never had it. Me gonna try

Haven’t tried it with Tajín, but I seriously don’t want to eat it without salt after the first time I tried that

I prefer it with some Maldon’s but I ran out. Tajin ain’t bad tho 😋

Tajin and fresh lemon or lime juice is bomb

Homegrown organic, should have seeds. They are a pain but seedless melons have been genetically engineered to be that way, additionally Dry roasted watermelon seeds are an superfoods . Soak in water for a couple hours, roast in oven for 15mins. Mind blowing

Cmon man, don’t ruin my snack 😂

I will get a seeded melon next time and roast the seeds 🤙 thanks for the tip

GMO seedless watermelon.

Súper delicioso 😋

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

have had watermelon a lot, but i’ve never had that tajin next to it 😆

Not everything is genetically modified. Seedless watermelon are a hybrid of diploid (2 chromasomes) with a tetraploid (4 chromasomes) making it a sterile, seedless triploid cross. This happens with a lot of foods where weird cross breeding are exploited to get the desired results, or generations of selective breeding get it there. I'm not a fan of GMO either, but not everything is made in a lab. People should research things they don't understand rather than parrot that everything is going to kill you.

Thanks for the info 💜 Everything that has been domesticated is in some way “genetically modified” so you’re right, need to be more specific. I don’t want to consume stuff with genes for insecticide resistance or other mutations spliced in. So… just gonna start buying watermelons from the local farmers market from now. Any other way to tell it’s gmo vs selectively bred?

Yep, if we want to define GMO as selectively bred then all domesticated animals and almost every modern plant food is off the table. It's what humans do.

But yes, gene splicing and herbicide/pesticide resistant junk is what we want to avoid. And it's actually a surprisingly small number of crops that have been tampered with in that way, corn being the major one. Best way is to do some searching online about the specific variety, but for now almost now common vegetables or garden grown foods are GMO. There's no money in it, they focus on major production staple crops.

Hybrids are not GMO. This is essentially the same idea as a mule.
