A seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) has been cut in half in a California, USA, farm field to check the ripeness of the large luscious fruit that is more than 90 percent water. This popular taste treat grows on the ground from the vines of annual flowering plants. The seedless variety lacks the black seeds of seeded watermelon but may have a few small immature white seeds that are safe to eat. Common colors of the juicy watermelon flesh (pulp) are red and pink, but there are also orange, yellow and white varieties, all of which vary in size, shape, texture and taste.
