Why aren't you supposed to eat the white part of watermelon?
Answers:
Most people will say beacuse it doesn't taste good. There is nothing wrong with it...you won't get sick because it is dirty. It is inside the watermelon, it's clean, you can eat it if you want, its just not as good as the red part.
its dirty as hell
I think its hard to digest or something. I don't think it would kill you if you did though.
it tastes bad
My mom always said eating too much of the white part causes diarrhea
...it doesn't taste good.
But my great aunt makes watermelon rind pickles. They're great!
there's nothing wrong with eating it, it just doesn't taste good. It's like eating the core of an apple or the skin of an orange.
Because its gross, bitter, and taste like poo!
not fresh. but pickles can be made from it.
no actually the white part is good for you. most people don't eat it because they think it's nasty.
it's hard to digest and has a bitter taste* same when ppl say don't eat the seeds in oranges or watermelons, but yet ppl/kids always swallow them *......
Why not? I know plenty of people who salt the rind and gnaw on it.
The red part is more juicy and sweet,the green part is harder and less juicy.You can eat both.The green parts basically no different in health.
