    It is safe to eat any watermelon seeds except the black ones. It is possible to choke on the seeds that are black, so it is best to remove them from the fruit before you eat it. The story that a watermelon will sprout in your stomach is just a myth, but you should still try to stay away from the black seeds.

    "a watermelon will sprout in your stomach and grow" That's just a myth. You'll be fine. I have eaten watermelon seeds before and I'm perfectly fine to this very day.

    You can eat the light brown ones but the black ones are hard and is a choking hazard. No, a watermelon will not grow in your stomach.

    Yes. Animals eat them and poop them out, spreading them into other areas to grow. Also, the watermelon seed can be salted, baked and eaten as a snack by humans.

    And, you are... what, nine? They won't do any such thing; they will pass through your digestive system the same as any other food you eat.
