I work in produce. Those are called a "sugar split" it's when the melon gets ripe and the sugar crystallizes, creating a fault line. It means the melon is very sweet.
So let's just back up the truck a bit. We grew lots of watermelons in Africa. Often they were cracked inside. Those were often the sweetest. Did we inject them with chemicals or use pesticides? No! The cracks are due to how much and when they got water. Drought years often produced hollow heart watermelons (i.e. cracked inside) and sweeter fruit because the sugars were concentrated in less flesh. Here in Canada we've bought organic melons that were cracked inside. If you support your community and buy from local farmers that have bee hives on their land, you won't be buying one that's been sprayed with pesticides or injected with chemicals.
Agreed; grown some in yard in past; had same cracks on some. Same thing; all natural; no real pesticides and natural fertilizer. Think the take way from story is don't buy watermelons from china or other countries that don't really buy into food safety all that much.
It also means that the sugar is building up inside the watermelon and slowly eating away at it. If you get the melon at the right time it should be sweet.
My family have grown watermelons for years. Small, backyard gardens. Cracks can form on the inside flesh without chemicals being used. One simple reason can be it wasn't watered enough. It's flesh is simply drier.
The watermelons growing in our garden get splits inside sometimes. So that doesn't mean it's a chemical situation. Sometimes it's a sugar issue. Other times is how much water they get literally.
I just had a cracked watermelon and it was sweet like honey ,when I first saw this video I freaked out then did a little research and found out that it's a hoax , thankfully I dint threw my watermelon 🤦
This is baloney! We have been growing organic heirloom watermelons on our farm for 25+ years, certain types get big cracks inside naturally and the white seeds are simply either non heirloom meaning they aren't seeds you can plant or they are just unripe seeds. Mishaped melons have many causes like growing along another one, against a rock etc. Maybe some places use that chemical on theirs, but I know for a fact it would be hard to find at an American farmers market. At least here in the southwest. We take pride that our farm grown produce tastes wonderful and is much better for you than store bought.
Kramerica Inc ganglion cysts can be dangerous neurologically speaking but sometimes they are benign. It depends on each person, where it’s placed, & how it is specifically affecting you. Unless you’re symptomatic, doctors prefer waiting or doing nothing because surgery always have potential bad outcomes, especially when it comes to nerves & fine hand motor skills. That’s what I know from working in the medical field & a friend who actually had the surgery & was left with neuropathy. Thanks for sharing what you know about watermelons!!
Kramerica Inc, His info is faulty, lacks or even conflicts with medical and scientific knowledge. Examples, Diabetic patients must use great caution when eating watermelon. Even in small amounts it can drive their blood sugar levels sky high. Blood sugar has to be monitored to make adjustments so that we can enjoy healthy delicious watermelon in moderation. Patients with kidney disease are often placed on LOW potassium diets as their bodies loose ability to maintain healthy levels. Primarily Proteins are found in meats, fish, dairy products, Soy and many types of beans.....there might be gold in watermelon too, but not enough to go mining, haha. best regards everyone.
Your right. All us old timers know that. Does anyone really Know what Monsanto does to seeds, and the crop those seeds produce. They are trying to get all the rights to heirloom seeds too. The younger generations are , well, it seems hopeless. I was going to say in danger, but you can already see the sickness. It seems normal to them. It is not normal.
Yeah you know my parents smoked for years and never got sick from it or cancer or anything. Bloody fear mongerers all over the place these days. Sure sign that there is nothing wrong with something is to see if after consuming it you immediately have an adverse reaction or not. If say, after 5 minutes you're still ok, go for it! No problemo!
I just ate a watermelon cracked inside. It had a crystal like appearance where it was cracked. Thanks to all of you who commented, I didn’t throw away that watermelon. It was nice, and juicy, and seemed over ripe.
Best watermelon: *Round* unless you like watery taste *Brown scars on outside (webbing)* *Brown stim* *No cracks inside* *High pitch sound when knocked on.* 👍🏽
Not quite accurate. The shape of the fruit is mostly determined by the variety. Sugar melons tend to be round as do seedless melons. The best watermelons I have tasted were quite large (around 6 to 8kg) and long. These are less and less common as the little round ones seem to be taking over.
Very true - there are 2 types of melons among the ones I've grown that are really odd - both South American varieties I believe. One variety I know my mom got from neighbors who brought them from Mexico, which while it looks "standard" from the outside, instead of red, has a sweet, bright yellow flesh inside. Another one is strange because of the size and shape. Somewhere between a softball and volleyball. Perfect spheres. Really sweet. My mom also tried one strange variety once that I can't recall the source of - but they were TINY! We're talking 3-4" long melons. Very sweet. Almost had a "cucumber" taste to them IIRC, but having been quite a few years, this MIGHT be just my brain mis-remembering things. I do think I recall that, however - being surprised at the taste as a child and thinking (foolishly) that maybe these were some sort of scientific hybrid between the 2. Stuck in my mind that way, but as I said, the only part I'm sure of in that memory was watermelons smaller than our other veggies like eggplants and zucchini.
You're absolutely right Orlando. I've been eating watermelon my whole life, even the "cracked" ones for 60 years, as well as grapes and kiwi, still healthy as ever! Sometimes a watermelon is pale and lacks flavor because it was picked early and allowed to ripen during warehousing, or transit time from other countries. If they didn't do this much of the fruit would spoil before it made it to market.
Weedhopper I have learned a lot on TH-cam but one has to be very careful of disinformation. It's a pity that people upload videos and present things as facts that are not.
I am a huge watermelon fan, I love it so much that just like Mr. Bright side I want it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, like if you love watermelon too.
Not true. If you've ever seen home grown watermelon, you'll see they are imperfect, misshapen, etc. I've also seen cracks, pale pulp.. it depends on many things.
Wrong. These watermelons in stores are grown by experienced farmers on big farms, not your backyard. There are going to be imperfections but not as obvious as the ones stated in the vid.
I owned a farm and grew my own watermelons and no chemical enhancements or pesticides were used (because I had bees). There is nothing wrong with a watermelon that is oddly shaped and or has cracks inside it. Nothing always grows the exact way you see it at the store. Most of the time the ones you by at the store have been picked through and any that don't look "perfect" are most likely thrown away or used for other products where you cant see the original shape that they grew as (like popsicles and jams). :)
Lol. Cracks on the inside of a watermelon means only that it is a little over ripe. My family has grown watermelons for years, and I can't count the number of these over ripe melons I have consumed over the years.
garrimic3 thumping the watermelon should produce a hollow sound if it is ripe. I confess that this method takes a lot of experience before you can accurately determine ripeness by the sound. I gave up trying long ago. The best method I have found is by how the watermelon looks and by how the vines look. In the market you only have the melon. It should be firm. A fingernail scraped against a small area should reveal a whitish layer (This won't hurt the melon, ruin it's value, or make it unfit for sale). There should be a pale area where the melon lay on the ground. This area should be yellowish, not white.
We don't promote the "thumping" method either, since as you agree it is hard to master. We say to look for the buttery yellow ground spot, where the watermelon sat on the ground and ripened in the sun. - National Watermelon Promotion Board
I grow watermelon every year . Such as Crimson sweet ,Charleston gray, yellow doll, Orange Glo ,and many others and I have found out from years of experience that some watermelons will have cracks in them, a hollow heart and some will not and based upon my own personal experience this video is not totally accurate. While some of the info is correct . Okay have a nice day
If they are being grown naturally free of those chemicals then it's nature that not everything is perfect. I'm in the UK and recently watched a tv show about British people who grow giant vegetables for competitions and best in show etc.. (we have lots of country shows over here). They explained that too much rain at the wrong time can make their vegetables like marrow (which has a high water content) split open. Provided it has been grown naturally it won't harm anyone. It's the industrial growers who stick chemicals in everything that make things dangerous to eat.
Not to mention that seedless watermelons exist, and so white seeds is in no way a viable method to determine if hormones were used. And also, where are the sources for this video? Declaring watermelons can even prevent cancer is a big claim
I’ve been eating these my entire life and never had one problem. Cracking inside just means it cracked when ya cut it open. It should sound like a hollow thud when ya thump it for a sweet one. My great grandfather grew watermelon so I learned from him
In reality, what's happened to this watermelon is a natural condition called "hollow heart." That's right. This piece of fruit literally looked exactly like that when it was cut open. Reddit. "Hollow heart" develops when there is poor pollination during the growth process that creates cracks inside of the watermelon
I remembered when I was young and when my Dad harvest watermelon, sometimes when I cut the watermelon it has cracks inside and we still eat it anyways but we don’t get sick and back then my dad doesn’t use any chemicals.
Thankfully... my parent usually plant watermelon in the garden... so I can pick it anytime I like the yellow colour watermelon... it's sweeter than red ones
9 minutes??? I could have already gone to the store, bought one and been stuffing my mouth with it by now; instead I'm still here staring and drooling at the screen.
You are right for how to pick them, but not for the cracks inside, my country is too poor to bother buy chemicals for the watermelons so in this case our watermelons are one of the few things that are still natural (well not original watermelon natural but you got the point). Usually the ones with cracks inside are really sweet. You are also right about the benefits. My father went whole summer only on watermelons and not only droped his wheight but also his diabeties went down the drain. Also one more tip for picking the right watermelon trust me that works 95% of the time. If the watermelon have bite marks from rabbits or just some indication that the watermelon was bitten by something and healed later that is a sure sign that it have a great taste inside. Consider it approved by the animals good. :)
mica onyx I cut these all day everyday. There is nothing wrong with it. This is pseudoscience. Don't believe this nonsense. I work hard to put these out and trust me there is nothing wrong with them.
You don't know much about melons. I grow them all the time. If you see those cracks it usually indicates the melon was picked ripe. This depends on varieties and growing conditions.
Merlyn Schutterle Doesn't mean it is diseased. I also used to pick melons and plenty of other produce from the fields. This video is throwing out jargon in order to spread false science. Read the article from the EPA about this chemical. They did study it throuroughly and it is safe to eat.
One year ago I started returning watermelons to the store that were not good or sweet. The stores never complained, they just refunded my money. If enough shoppers do this, they will start purchasing better quality. Why waste YOUR money?
I have literally eaten hundreds of watermelons with cracks. It is actually a good sign that the watermelon is particularly good. Better advice? Don't eat watermelons from China.
Jason Sanford, China has bigger, healthier and growing population than the USA or any other Western nations. China will not be able to achieve such feat if the things they eat are garbage as you said. If one follows your reasoning, the foods in USA and western nations are poisonous and garbage which caused the USA and western nations population declines and shrinks.
Google "chinese population growth" China has lower growth than the US since 1990. But I am more fascinated by a member of the 50 cent brigade defending chinese agriculture. You do realize that these less we want it the more you can horde it. You guys are going to get as ridiculously over patriotic as America
Honestly, I don't trust food from the US either. Watch these: Dirty Birds: A Story of Chickens in America th-cam.com/video/wm5MdlDeEk0/w-d-xo.html Also watch this movie: Food Inc. th-cam.com/video/2Oq24hITFTY/w-d-xo.html
Two items: 1) Not all internatlly cracked watermelons are toxic or are the cracks always only caused by plant growth hormone you mentioned - too much water at wrong time can also cause this; 2) the dull thump when tapped usually means the melon is OVER ripe, not under ripe. When the melon is over ripe the flesh is soft and mushy from the water exiting the decaying cells, making the melon absord the tapping sound . . . good video, otherwise.
casullarms1 Groucho Marx rest in peace RIP. HE WAS ALSO QUOTED "that I would not be a member of any establishment that would accept somebody like myself as a member. Verbatim unsure as I recall
I thump them too. At times, I also buy the "seedless" variety which always have white seeds. I have also eaten the ones with cracks. I think it has to do with the watering, not chemicals. I learned how to pick melons from my mother, who was quite gifted at it. But, then again- she used to grow watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons in addition to other produce. She never used chemicals like that, but grew them organically.
Alll SEEDLESS watermelons have white seeds, Normal seeded watermellons usually have black seeds. But I only buy seedless because i dont want the seeds. And no, it doesnt mean they are genetically modified despite what other idiots say. They have been selectively grown to minimize seed production. And besides, there is nothing wrong with GMO , only tin foil hat idiots believe that horseshit. There is not a single food, organic or otherwise that has not been modified through some means. The idea that speeding up a process that can be done naturally over a longer period of time is some how more dangerous or effects the food is absurd and ridiculous. And clearly from idiots who dont know how science works. Neil DeGrass Tyson had it right when he schooled idiots over GMOs.
tru , i have waterelon seeds and i planted them this year , they was over riped AND THERE WAS DROUGHT IN MY COUNTRY (poland) so if its too dry watermelons cant fill some spaces , either inside will be too dry instead of being watery
*What I learned* : Only eat the watermelons with no cracks, looks like a sphere, has black seeds, is red on the inside, not shiny, no brown spots, and has a brown stem..
Pity about all the people growing varieties that have yellow or white flesh, are naturally football shaped, have naturally white or brown seeds. And a brown stem often means it is over-ripe.
Please... Do you know how many watermelons I've eaten over the years that were cracked? They turned out to be the best SWEET watermelons I've ever had!!!!
That chemical is not dangerous. ;) It just have scary name for uneducated people. :( This compound is NOT carcinogen, skin irritant, mutagen, neurotoxic or anything you may think of. All it does is that it irritates respiratory tract. And that does water too. ;)
I have asthma too. ;) And this compound irritates respiratory tract when it is inhaled. Does anybody inhale any kind of fluid willingly? :D And as I before, even water irritates resperatory tract. Yeast can iritate your respiratory tract, will U stop eating bread or drinking water, hmm?
Bunch of bull! Different types of watermelon come in different colors, shapes and amount of shine. My grandfather grew watermelon that cracked in the late 70's and early 80's. he rarely put anything other than compost on his garden!
I have lupus and a few years ago I basically did watermelon all summer which is like 6 months where I live and seriously the weight fell off!!!! I lost like 60 lbs and I felt so much better. I REALLY LOVE WATER MELON and its ALL I craved with both boy pregnancies....I need a green house to grow it all year round, its so good to make smoothies out of them YUMMY
That the United States would even import watermelons is a bit mystifying to me given that there are plenty of watermelon producing areas all over the country. The city of Cordele, GA down the road from me boasts that it is the Watermelon Capital of the world. Anyway....
Robby House. The USA doesn't import from China. When watermelons are not in season in the USA (during the winter) they're imported from different south American countries.
Robby House on interstate 75 going through there I was driving watermelon truck from Florida to Ohio and blacks hijacked my truck and stole my load of watermelons
That's b/c the cracks are a sign of ripeness. As a child I ate organic watermelons that my grandfather cultivated back home in Azores, & they all had cracks. & as you've stated, they're juicier & sweeter when these cracks form. Take care.
When I see a cracked watermelon I instantly think that it is over ripe and will soon go bad if I don't eat it. I also seems to be more mushy instead of crunchy.
When buying watermelon in sections, I always get the ones with cracks. They are a brighter color and taste better. BTW, I find it better to buy those in sections because you can see exactly what you're getting and those humongous whole ones are a challenge to eat before they start to go rancid.
It's October in Calif. Paid $10 for a watermelon. It has Cracks and White Seeds. Delicious. No digestive problems. I watched this twice - and read the comments before committing to be a Brave Little Guinea Pig. Yummy experience.
This may be accurate in some melons but I've grown my own watermelons that have cracks. Explain that. That's like saying if you have brown eyes it means you're Italian. Maybe so, but it means a lot of other things, too.
Natalie Washington its false information, he's literally advertising the "pretty" watermelons that are the ones genetically made, the ones with cracks and white seeds are real and showing the ripeness of the watermelon.
Suzette, this is a hoax. The "cracks" in the watermelon are completely normal. How I know this is because my uncle works for the department of agriculture, and I've asked him, and he said its when the watermelon gets extremely sweet and the natural sugars causes cracks. Its completely fine to eat. I've eaten a watermelon with cracks in it, and I did not have digestive issues.
Meanwhile in another part of the world, children are dreaming to have a taste of this fruit or is dreaming to have a food for their hungry stomach. While bright side is telling people to throw and waste fruit/food.
My great uncle Commercially Raised water melons for over 40 years, he could go walk through the patch at a fairly fast walk-thump the melon and pick a Ripe One Every Time-he always told me that they should sound Hollow when they are Ripe...
I am torn on this channel, I like the info and video but Jesus Christ, just get to the point already, they take what should be a 2 min video and drag it out to 10 min. Less is more.
Scientists crossed a diploid plant with a tetraploid plant to create a triploid plant with seeds that are not viable. It’s just like crossing two breeds of dog to produce a new one. Most of the fruit and vegetables you eat are produced in the same way.

Great video - very informative. Biggest Question for me is: "Where/How do I find SEEDED watermelon? I remember large, almost cylindrical, watermelon from my childhood. I believe the "seedless" variety we now see are really immature versions of what we used to have. Personally, I think Seeded watermelon are sweeter because they are riper. I have found they when visiting Italy, so how do I find them in the USA, short of going to a watermelon farm? Good subject for video: "Where have all the real watermelon gone?"
I live in waterme;lon country. Do look for the field spot where the melon rested on the ground. If it is very pale, the melon isn't really ripe yet. If it is bright yellow it's a little overripe. You want a nice butter yellow - ENJOY!
i think over in the UK we call these GM foods, that is foods not grown naturally or changed in some way to look more appetising which is 9 times out of 10 as you say a disappointment when you actually eat it or even actually bad for your health.
I don't know much about the origins of food in general apart from it's supposed to be natural but there's not enough of that to go around so it isn't and that some of it can be changed to look but not taste good.
I don't know why I ever subscribed to Bright Side. It's very rarely positive "bright side of life" content. Naturally, the "click-bait" nature of the headlines occasionally tricks me into watchin gpart of a video. Only 1 minute of this video is related to the cracking issue, and no supporting evidence is provided-. On the current topic, we have ALL eaten cracked watermelons. There is no evidence that the use of this chemical is caused by, or EVEN CORRELATED with the cracking. Furthermore, there is no evidence that this chemical is harmful for humans, assuming it is even used on this crop. Given the US crops it's approved to be used on, I assume Bright Spot's next video will be "If you have grapes in their fridge, throw them out! (Then watch this video!)." Ridiculous.

We don't promote the "thumping" method either, since as you agree it is hard to master. We say to look for the buttery yellow ground spot, where the watermelon sat on the ground and ripened in the sun. - National Watermelon Promotion Board
Who else is scrolling down to see if this is true? I only came here to look at the comments lol.
me too lol
Same

I grow watermelon every year . Such as Crimson sweet ,Charleston gray, yellow doll, Orange Glo ,and many others and I have found out from years of experience that some watermelons will have cracks in them, a hollow heart and some will not and based upon my own personal experience this video is not totally accurate. While some of the info is correct . Okay have a nice day
MR. FUSON thank you !!!!!🤓💙💕
If they are being grown naturally free of those chemicals then it's nature that not everything is perfect. I'm in the UK and recently watched a tv show about British people who grow giant vegetables for competitions and best in show etc.. (we have lots of country shows over here). They explained that too much rain at the wrong time can make their vegetables like marrow (which has a high water content) split open. Provided it has been grown naturally it won't harm anyone. It's the industrial growers who stick chemicals in everything that make things dangerous to eat.
Not to mention that seedless watermelons exist, and so white seeds is in no way a viable method to determine if hormones were used. And also, where are the sources for this video? Declaring watermelons can even prevent cancer is a big claim
I live on a family farm and usually someone grows some. The cracking on the inside usually means the watermelon is a little older than others.
Ha!got eem
This is misleading. Growing up we raised an acre of watermelon. Cracking inside meant sweeter. They were the best.
millieo eww why would you like watermelons they’re texture is horrible
@@tradffy9567 It's their opinion.
@@tradffy9567 I guess you judge things like that
You didn't inject watermelons. This is what people brought home, but not from your farm. I also grew up with fresh food. I miss it.
Growing up that’s what watermelon look like so….
Thank you. It's the middle of the winter here where I live, and now I'm craving a watermelon 😭😭😭
I’ve been eating these my entire life and never had one problem. Cracking inside just means it cracked when ya cut it open. It should sound like a hollow thud when ya thump it for a sweet one. My great grandfather grew watermelon so I learned from him
Dude a hollow thud means it starts to spoil in needs to sound not hollow stop spreading lie
Every watermelon I ever ate had cracks
itZ 22 hey pixel gunner! XD why im lvl 31
I ate a cracked watermelon and it did nothing to me.
How......
@azlan azlan mhm you right ;)
Goldenmon rammahtaw you right too ;)
plus who even told him that huh he has know proof so hes lying. D:
Maybe your very very very very lucky
This made me want to have a watermelon 🍉😭
Same...
Yup
Perfect Cell lucky 4 me i hate watermelon 😉
Perfect
Perfect Cell. Seriously!! I like it with salt though
False! Cracked watermelon is a sugar split and taste the sweetest.
Are you sure..??? And please can I ask you something??
Exactly
I know
Not all the time
In reality, what's happened to this watermelon is a natural condition called "hollow heart." That's right. This piece of fruit literally looked exactly like that when it was cut open. Reddit. "Hollow heart" develops when there is poor pollination during the growth process that creates cracks inside of the watermelon
The knocking method is the method my grandmother used & it was good every time...
I've chosen sweet watermelons ever since I started using that method
Demi Schae same
Demi Schae I karate chop it.
So your grandma had a nice set of knockers?
Demi Schae same my family does that and they get a good watermelon
The ones with the cracks usually taste the best tho 🤔
True
Its cuz its fake this whole channel is just a buncha fakes
Ya, Because bright side is a lie!!!!
Your tight
Right
I remembered when I was young and when my Dad harvest watermelon, sometimes when I cut the watermelon it has cracks inside and we still eat it anyways but we don’t get sick and back then my dad doesn’t use any chemicals.
Thankfully... my parent usually plant watermelon in the garden... so I can pick it anytime
I like the yellow colour watermelon... it's sweeter than red ones
thankfully? ones with cracks inside are just sugar cracks and its the sugar crystalising which maks it sweeter
Round watermelons with yellow on it means it is sweeter.
Tried the yellow inside ones. They had no taste.

JeremyShaferOrigami adleast you know which ones you shouldn't get!
JeremyShaferOrigami at least you get to know how goood it is to eat watermelons
Me to man..... Me to
JeremyShaferOrigami **throws a watermelon in your face**
I thought the same ... thanks for the chuckle !
You are right for how to pick them, but not for the cracks inside, my country is too poor to bother buy chemicals for the watermelons so in this case our watermelons are one of the few things that are still natural (well not original watermelon natural but you got the point). Usually the ones with cracks inside are really sweet. You are also right about the benefits. My father went whole summer only on watermelons and not only droped his wheight but also his diabeties went down the drain. Also one more tip for picking the right watermelon trust me that works 95% of the time. If the watermelon have bite marks from rabbits or just some indication that the watermelon was bitten by something and healed later that is a sure sign that it have a great taste inside. Consider it approved by the animals good. :)
Another trick to pick the right watermelon: Look at the end where the flower falls off (not the stem part) If it is small, then the watermelon is good
Ridiculous... cracks are perfectly normal but uncommon where watermelons aren't grown because they get shipped when not fully ripe.
You must be nuts, do you how much watermelons cost. I'm not throwing nothing out. I'm taking it back and getting a refund. I work hard for my money.
mica onyx I cut these all day everyday. There is nothing wrong with it. This is pseudoscience. Don't believe this nonsense. I work hard to put these out and trust me there is nothing wrong with them.
Sean Hannold ok thanks that's good to know. I was wondering if there was any truth to that.
And you better treat her right.
You don't know much about melons. I grow them all the time. If you see those cracks it usually indicates the melon was picked ripe. This depends on varieties and growing conditions.
Merlyn Schutterle Doesn't mean it is diseased. I also used to pick melons and plenty of other produce from the fields. This video is throwing out jargon in order to spread false science. Read the article from the EPA about this chemical. They did study it throuroughly and it is safe to eat.
Guess who's gonna keep eating it tho
That's right
It me
Michael Delaney I love your last name ( it’s my name )
And meee
Me too 🍉🍉🍉🍉👍👍 sooooo sweet
YEEEEEEEAH! ME LOVE WATERMELONS
Delaney M. I HATE WATERMELONS
One year ago I started returning watermelons to the store that were not good or sweet. The stores never complained, they just refunded my money. If enough shoppers do this, they will start purchasing better quality. Why waste YOUR money?
Barbi Doll see
You
this just means more watermelons go to waste in order for you to get the "best" ones
I have literally eaten hundreds of watermelons with cracks. It is actually a good sign that the watermelon is particularly good.
Better advice? Don't eat watermelons from China.
Jason Sanford, China has bigger, healthier and growing population than the USA or any other Western nations. China will not be able to achieve such feat if the things they eat are garbage as you said. If one follows your reasoning, the foods in USA and western nations are poisonous and garbage which caused the USA and western nations population declines and shrinks.
Google "chinese population growth" China has lower growth than the US since 1990. But I am more fascinated by a member of the 50 cent brigade defending chinese agriculture. You do realize that these less we want it the more you can horde it. You guys are going to get as ridiculously over patriotic as America
TC IronBear I ate so many veggie from China, oh no I guess I'll be dead the next morning
Wow, you need to earn your 50 cents too?
Honestly, I don't trust food from the US either. Watch these:
Dirty Birds: A Story of Chickens in America
th-cam.com/video/wm5MdlDeEk0/w-d-xo.html
Also watch this movie: Food Inc.
th-cam.com/video/2Oq24hITFTY/w-d-xo.html
Two items: 1) Not all internatlly cracked watermelons are toxic or are the cracks always only caused by plant growth hormone you mentioned - too much water at wrong time can also cause this; 2) the dull thump when tapped usually means the melon is OVER ripe, not under ripe. When the melon is over ripe the flesh is soft and mushy from the water exiting the decaying cells, making the melon absord the tapping sound . . . good video, otherwise.

Cute watermelon 🍉
Happy early birthday, everyone! Since I'll surely forget by then. 😁
This is wrong! That split means an extra great sugar taste! they are the best! I was raised on a farm! These were the sweetest melons of all!
:/ we used to grow watermelons in my house (all natural) and it'd still have cracks in it sometimes!
thats because its normal and not solely because of chemicals
Hollow Heart just happens. Climate changes cause changes in the fruit too. Nothing bad about it whatsoever. - National Watermelon Promotion Board
It has nothing to do with climate change...
Thanks for the misinformation WB
Well, it happens
I grew watermelons on my farm - 100% organic - and often they were cracked inside - those are often the sweetest.
As Groucho Marx once said, "Thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard"
casullarms1 Groucho Marx rest in peace RIP. HE WAS ALSO QUOTED "that I would not be a member of any establishment that would accept somebody like myself as a member. Verbatim unsure as I recall
casullarms1 😂 yep
That is the sign of a ripe watermelon. I eat them all the time! Never made me sick.
They're always sweet when they have cracks like that.
Had it everyday for the whole summer,now am extending the whole year round.
Thnx for a great video.
That split can also mean 1. it stayed on the vine to long 2. it has been off the vine to long and 3. (the best of all) it's at its peak for sweetness!
I do know that the sweetest watermelons I've eaten have been cracked. I think this video is only telling part of the story.
so, it's EVERY type of watermelon
Out 6p
That is true for the organic sweet melons😍

I ate a watermelon while watching this lol

Some cracked watermelons I've eaten were sweeter than regular one.
effect may come ltr
I thump them too. At times, I also buy the "seedless" variety which always have white seeds. I have also eaten the ones with cracks. I think it has to do with the watering, not chemicals.
I learned how to pick melons from my mother, who was quite gifted at it. But, then again- she used to grow watermelons, cantaloupes, and honeydew melons in addition to other produce. She never used chemicals like that, but grew them organically.
Afruiteater I EAT WATERMELON THAT HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS WHITE SEEDS
Dude i have been eating watermelon like that for years
Cracks come from overiping.
I've eaten watermelon with cracks in it a million times. I have also eaten flavorless ones too. I didn't get sick either.
Because those are perfectly safe because those are just sugar splits
But all watermellons have white seeds now, don't they? I haven't seen a black seed in watermellons in a good decade.
So only buy small watermelons.
kairon156 me either. I told my husband that a long time ago
you've been eating the "bad" water melons sadly..
Alll SEEDLESS watermelons have white seeds, Normal seeded watermellons usually have black seeds. But I only buy seedless because i dont want the seeds. And no, it doesnt mean they are genetically modified despite what other idiots say. They have been selectively grown to minimize seed production. And besides, there is nothing wrong with GMO , only tin foil hat idiots believe that horseshit. There is not a single food, organic or otherwise that has not been modified through some means. The idea that speeding up a process that can be done naturally over a longer period of time is some how more dangerous or effects the food is absurd and ridiculous. And clearly from idiots who dont know how science works. Neil DeGrass Tyson had it right when he schooled idiots over GMOs.
I just saw a watermelon with black seeds yesterday haha
Vancouver Guy. Thank you! I'm glad that you saved me from having to write all of that.
I am calling "Bullshlt" on this one! I was working in produce for 15 plus years, cut open 1000s of melons. This happens all the time.
if you see milk in your coffee THROW IT AWAY

😅
I have had so many cracked, dry and tasteless water melons of recent years, I have stopped eating them. With this info I’ll try again. Thanks.
the cracks also can be from over ripe
not over ripe :D
tru , i have waterelon seeds and i planted them this year , they was over riped AND THERE WAS DROUGHT IN MY COUNTRY (poland) so if its too dry watermelons cant fill some spaces , either inside will be too dry instead of being watery
*What I learned* : Only eat the watermelons with no cracks, looks like a sphere, has black seeds, is red on the inside, not shiny, no brown spots, and has a brown stem..
what you shouldnt think though
Pity about all the people growing varieties that have yellow or white flesh, are naturally football shaped, have naturally white or brown seeds. And a brown stem often means it is over-ripe.
Sim Mckenzie don't forget webbing
And the boy and girl watermelon and the yellow spot is good and white is bad where it laid on the ground...lol

Your videos be like: IF YOU SEE THIS, SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER, THROW IT ACROSS THE ROOM, CALL 911, AND SAY SOS SOS!!!
Please... Do you know how many watermelons I've eaten over the years that were cracked? They turned out to be the best SWEET watermelons I've ever had!!!!
Its because the cracks in your watermelons were sugar cracks.
I've eaten thousand if this cracked watermelons💀
😜😝😛 🙍🙅
That chemical is not dangerous. ;) It just have scary name for uneducated people. :(
This compound is NOT carcinogen, skin irritant, mutagen, neurotoxic or anything you may think of. All it does is that it irritates respiratory tract. And that does water too. ;)
Petr: Who wants something that irritates their respiratory tract? What if it's a child who has asthma?
I have asthma too. ;) And this compound irritates respiratory tract when it is inhaled. Does anybody inhale any kind of fluid willingly? :D And as I before, even water irritates resperatory tract. Yeast can iritate your respiratory tract, will U stop eating bread or drinking water, hmm?
So you're saying that if I irritate my respiratory tract then I'm probably just eating too fast. :-P
Bunch of bull! Different types of watermelon come in different colors, shapes and amount of shine. My grandfather grew watermelon that cracked in the late 70's and early 80's. he rarely put anything other than compost on his garden!
Terri Rushford I've been looking at the comments recently. Pretty much why I hate 'BRIGHT SIDE'.
can't believe it, I grown up in a county with 100% organic food, always ate watermelon with cracks inside.
Yay, your still alive
(Even when it's a lie(
What country has 100 percent organic food? Calling your bluff
I have lupus and a few years ago I basically did watermelon all summer which is like 6 months where I live and seriously the weight fell off!!!! I lost like 60 lbs and I felt so much better. I REALLY LOVE WATER MELON and its ALL I craved with both boy pregnancies....I need a green house to grow it all year round, its so good to make smoothies out of them YUMMY
OMG THE PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR THING KILLED ME
Bright side : don't eat cracked watermelons.
Kid that always eats cracked watermelons: 😳😳😳😳
omg so true
They are harmless .-. If they were cracked they would be sweeter.
Sasha BShady no it’s a 1 out of 3 chance
Sasha BShady but the texture is horrible!!!!
I've ate one one before AND I WAS JUST FINE
That the United States would even import watermelons is a bit mystifying to me given that there are plenty of watermelon producing areas all over the country. The city of Cordele, GA down the road from me boasts that it is the Watermelon Capital of the world. Anyway....
Robby House. The USA doesn't import from China. When watermelons are not in season in the USA (during the winter) they're imported from different south American countries.
Robby House too Good
Robby House on interstate 75 going through there I was driving watermelon truck from Florida to Ohio and blacks hijacked my truck and stole my load of watermelons
Oh dear, probably hired by Chinese agents to undermine the local crop. Diabolical!

Sej you know cracked watermelons are only sweeter right?
@@PolishEntrepreneur yes
Cracked watermelon is more juicy and more delicious to my taste :)
That's b/c the cracks are a sign of ripeness. As a child I ate organic watermelons that my grandfather cultivated back home in Azores, & they all had cracks. & as you've stated, they're juicier & sweeter when these cracks form. Take care.
Agreed. We in Serbia plant fruits an vegetables as well, even the people who live in cities :)
When I see a cracked watermelon I instantly think that it is over ripe and will soon go bad if I don't eat it. I also seems to be more mushy instead of crunchy.

When buying watermelon in sections, I always get the ones with cracks. They are a brighter color and taste better. BTW, I find it better to buy those in sections because you can see exactly what you're getting and those humongous whole ones are a challenge to eat before they start to go rancid.
It's October in Calif. Paid $10 for a watermelon. It has Cracks and White Seeds. Delicious. No digestive problems. I watched this twice - and read the comments before committing to be a Brave Little Guinea Pig. Yummy experience.
97% 🍉 i've ever eaten had cracks
TRUE SAME
They are the sweetest.
@@danielvazquez4298 omg saaaame like soooooo truuuuuueeeeeeeeee omg omg omg saaaaaaaaaaaame
This may be accurate in some melons but I've grown my own watermelons that have cracks. Explain that. That's like saying if you have brown eyes it means you're Italian. Maybe so, but it means a lot of other things, too.
Just Me maybe the seeds u got transferred the genes with the growth hormone
Didi those cracks appear in all of ur watermelons. waiting for reply. thanks
This is great info for picking watermelon. I'm going to remember these tips. Thanks bright side.
Natalie Washington its false information, he's literally advertising the "pretty" watermelons that are the ones genetically made, the ones with cracks and white seeds are real and showing the ripeness of the watermelon.
Justin Williams Really? I see I'm going to have to do my own research.
Natalie Washington mhm
Thank you for this important information concerning watermelons.
Suzette, this is a hoax. The "cracks" in the watermelon are completely normal. How I know this is because my uncle works for the department of agriculture, and I've asked him, and he said its when the watermelon gets extremely sweet and the natural sugars causes cracks. Its completely fine to eat. I've eaten a watermelon with cracks in it, and I did not have digestive issues.
I was eating watermelon while watching but it was surprisingly a good one
I eat a whole watermelon in two days.
Yellowgirl 360 i in 20 min
I ate one in 10 mins
Haha!! Yummy. I could too. Good info on how to pick a sweet Good one! Thanks
F.B.I are you spying on me? That's the exact time it take me to eat one...
It takes a couple hours for me.
Meanwhile in another part of the world, children are dreaming to have a taste of this fruit or is dreaming to have a food for their hungry stomach. While bright side is telling people to throw and waste fruit/food.
My great uncle Commercially Raised water melons for over 40 years, he could go walk through the patch at a fairly fast walk-thump the melon and pick a Ripe One Every Time-he always told me that they should sound Hollow when they are Ripe...
I am torn on this channel, I like the info and video but Jesus Christ, just get to the point already, they take what should be a 2 min video and drag it out to 10 min. Less is more.
People like wasting their time on the Net, so the channel satisfies them haha
Google pays more for videos that are at least 10 minutes long.
Not true this isnt fact it can be from less water in the fruit
Like to know how they produce SEEDLESS and how bad are they? This video didn't mention it.
They probably just use another chemical or they let aliens do it
GMO
Scientists crossed a diploid plant with a tetraploid plant to create a triploid plant with seeds that are not viable. It’s just like crossing two breeds of dog to produce a new one. Most of the fruit and vegetables you eat are produced in the same way.
@@c_wyz although they are created by man they are not technically a GMO.
Most the watermelons I’ve gotten have no cracks and mostly red. Helps me be happy

Biggest Question for me is: "Where/How do I find SEEDED watermelon?
I remember large, almost cylindrical, watermelon from my childhood. I believe the "seedless" variety we now see are really immature versions of what we used to have. Personally, I think Seeded watermelon are sweeter because they are riper.
I have found they when visiting Italy, so how do I find them in the USA, short of going to a watermelon farm?
Good subject for video: "Where have all the real watermelon gone?"
I live in waterme;lon country. Do look for the field spot where the melon rested on the ground. If it is very pale, the melon isn't really ripe yet. If it is bright yellow it's a little overripe. You want a nice butter yellow - ENJOY!
Yeah, I just spent almost $10 on an organic watermelon and I'm going to throw it out?
Don't listen to it!There lies!!!

i think over in the UK we call these GM foods, that is foods not grown naturally or changed in some way to look more appetising which is 9 times out of 10 as you say a disappointment when you actually eat it or even actually bad for your health.
foreverkurome GMO foods. Genetically Modified Organism(s).
foreverkurome u obviously don't know much.... if u knew how many fruits that are "man made" and cross breeded to be what they are today....
I don't know much about the origins of food in general apart from it's supposed to be natural but there's not enough of that to go around so it isn't and that some of it can be changed to look but not taste good.
"no, not like spider webs, that would be gross"
It most often pays to view "internet wisdom" with a very skeptical eye....that's all I'm sayin'.
I don't know why I ever subscribed to Bright Side. It's very rarely positive "bright side of life" content. Naturally, the "click-bait" nature of the headlines occasionally tricks me into watchin gpart of a video. Only 1 minute of this video is related to the cracking issue, and no supporting evidence is provided-.
On the current topic, we have ALL eaten cracked watermelons. There is no evidence that the use of this chemical is caused by, or EVEN CORRELATED with the cracking. Furthermore, there is no evidence that this chemical is harmful for humans, assuming it is even used on this crop. Given the US crops it's approved to be used on, I assume Bright Spot's next video will be "If you have grapes in their fridge, throw them out! (Then watch this video!)." Ridiculous.

what a lie. I have been eating water mellow like this, 60 years before that growth chemical.

Water melons without injected anything still have cracks in them......
Sivath Flare so true.
Some of the best watermelon I've ever ate has had cracks. And they were grown out of my organic garden.
i'v eaten watermelons that were cracked ( over ripe or dropped )
suggest eating locally grown like Hermiston watermelons best
It could just be over watered and been on the vine too long.
That is called a broken heart
