THE MYSTERIOUS BLUE WATERMELON (PART 2)

blue-watermelon 2

Last week, I wrote about my search for a blue watermelon, based on a reader question. Although the search was fruitless (yielding only one suspiciously doctored looking photo), I did also manage to find the striking photo above. Unlike the photo from the previous entry, this one is on-the-record as being doctored. What a shame.

    To bad it was doctored, it sure looks good. It is a shame too. Maybe someone’s scientific juices have been stirred and they will start experimenting on producing a blue watermelon. Time will tell, hopefully.

    I’m holding out hope for a watermelon that changes colors like a mood ring or one of those gobstoppers that have different colored layers.

    Look at the seed closest to the bottom. It does look a bit reddish, doesn’t it?

    its called Moonmelon, scientifically knows asasidus

    This fruit grows in some parts of Japan , and it’s known for it’s weird blue color

    what you probably don’t know about this fruit , is that it can switch flavors

    after you eat it , everything sour will taste sweet , and everything salty will taste bitter , and it gives water a strong orange-like taste

    this fruit is Very expensive , and it costs about ￥16000 JPY (which is about 200 dollars)

    We have a watermelon in our garden this year that is blue on the outside! This is a real surprise. Anyone ever heard of this?
