Watermelon is a favorite juicy and aromatic summer berry that can even replace dessert.

However, there are still many seeds in the pulp, which for some may be a reason to refuse the treat.

Someone might eat fruits with several seeds.

But is it possible to do this?

Andrey Tyazhelnikov answered this question in more detail for RIA Novosti .

As the specialist said, such seeds do not cause serious harm to the body, but you still shouldn’t eat them together with the pulp.

The thing is, this can cause unpleasant consequences if a person has irritable bowel syndrome.

In addition, the doctor noted in a conversation with the press that you should not eat the watermelon right down to the rind.

This is due to the fact that such parts, closer to the crust, may contain harmful nitrates, which will ultimately have a negative impact on health.
