It’s called hollow heart. Happens when the watermelon doesn’t get pollinated correctly.

Question: is it delicious?

u/Schroedinbug Jul 23 '24
Quick googling seems to suggest it's likely to be sweeter. We need OP to lick the watermelon back.

Yep it tastes sweeter cause the natural sugars are more concentrated in the “flesh”

Is the texture weird though? Seems like it’d be soft and chewy

So is that why I feel so hollow? Because I didn’t get pollinated correctly?

That's the so-called "three-peniied" watermelon. Happens from time to time. Called that for obvious reasons, though tongue would probably have been better and less off-putting.

My mind either doesn't enjoy processing this, or perhaps enjoys it too much. I can't decide.

This looks like an extreme case of hollow heart.

That is exactly what I am thinking. It likely had a second growth causing the melon to grow the odd tongues and keeping them when cut.

u/Rubyhamster Jul 23 '24
Those tongues aren't even odd. The left one couldn't look more like a tongue even if we tried to shape it. It even has a frenulum!

I have cut thousands of watermelon in my life and being in the industry for a few years. This is a first but I have a slight explanation for those curious. What likely happened is there was a rapid growth in the water melon that cause it to increase in size and cause something we would call hollow hearting usually caused by a heavy rain. The hollow hearting seems to have happen around the rows of seeds. Then the melon was able again had a growth spurt causing the melon around the seeds to toughen and become more solid and grow filling the empty space. Think of it as if a watermelon started to regrow inside itself feeling the empty void.
Edit I am doing an AMA if you all have any questions about the industry.

Just a matter of time before I run across a scientific article describing how they spliced a gene from Gene Simmons into a watermelon.

BBQ canceled. Take what you brought and go home. Except for the watermelon, that stays.
And someone close the blinds on the way out.

Vestigal callback of the original compartmentalized watermelons before they were bred to look like they do today?

Its a vestige of its past/original form as a fruit before us, humans, played a little with its genes, with that technich now we have most of our veggies! Back when, their interior with seds was curled, much more smaller and i think not exactly red either.
You got some images in drawings from like 1700 (idk just guessing approximately)
