About Seedless watermelon

Seedless watermelon is a variety of the common watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), initially developed in the mid-20th century through hybridization techniques to remove mature seeds.

Seedless watermelon shares the same nutritional profile as regular watermelon, being over 90% water and low in calories, with approximately 30 calories per 100 grams. It is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, and provides smaller amounts of potassium and antioxidants like lycopene, which are associated with health benefits such as reduced inflammation and enhanced immune function.
