I had no idea there was such a thing as a mini-watermelon, let alone a mania about them, as suggested by a piece in FreshPlaza. But apparently, in addition to being easier to carry, they’re also good for you. I haven’t been able to find information on how these nutritious, small-fruited varieties were developed, but it does seem to have been through conventional breeding.
What do you do with mini watermelons???? Is that like an individual pizza?
I dunno. Eat them more quickly? Note also the nibble on competitive vegetable growing for the other side of the size story. Family-sized pumpkins, anyone?
