Watermelons have many health benefits, and they are tasty, but farmers
do their best to boost the production and their revenues, too. That’s
why you can see the watermelons looking like that. They do not taste
well and can be dangerous for your health! Do not eat them! This story happened in China. Local farmers planted
watermelons by acres, but eventually lost it all. The delicious green
balls just cracked and rotted right in the fields. The farmers said they
used no special chemical for growing them. Researchers showed the
commonly used fertilizer caused the disaster. Initially, it had to speed
up the growth by at least two weeks and make watermelons 20 percent larger.
However, the untimely rain made them grow too fast and crack on the
field. Moreover, when you cut a fruit fertilized by that chemical, you
see pale color and many white seeds, instead of the black ones. It does
not taste as sweet as it should. And the fruits may look odd or have an
unusual shape. Some scientists say that forchlorfenuron fertilizer is
harmless for human health. Others claim it can evoke a range of problems
with stomach, kidney and breathing troubles. So, if you see a fruit
looking like that, do not eat it. To avoid consuming the unwholesome
Chinese foods, shop locally from the manufacturers you know.
