Love this! Who’s planting watermelons this year? 🙋🏻♀️
Isn’t it something how the world will sell you a bottle of “nutrients,” “minerals,” “magnesium,” “zinc,” “iron,” “protein,” and “healthy fats”… while at the same time teaching people to buy seedless fruit?
Next time you’re standing there choosing a watermelon, remember this:
You can buy the seeded watermelon… or you can buy the pill bottle.
Those little black seeds that so many people spit out or throw away are packed with life. Watermelon seeds are edible, and when they are dried, roasted, chewed, sprouted, or ground, they become a powerful little food. They contain protein, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, iron, folate, and other nutrients the body needs.
Dried watermelon seed kernels can have around **28 grams of protein per 100 grams**, and about **8 grams of protein per ounce**. That means this “trash” the world told us to throw away is actually food. Real food. Seed food. Survival food. Creation food.
A single seed may only have a tiny amount of protein by itself, but handfuls of seeds add up. Just like everything Father made, the power is often hidden in the small things.
And this is where wisdom comes in.
Deuteronomy 30 tells us that Father sets before us life and death, blessing and curse, and tells us to choose life. Deuteronomy 28 shows us the blessings and the curses. I believe even in the simple things, we are still choosing. We either choose what Father made with seed inside it, or we choose what man altered, stripped down, and then sells back to us in a bottle.
Seeded fruit teaches life.
Seedless fruit teaches convenience.
One can reproduce after its kind.
The other has been made for the system.
This watermelon season, don’t just eat the sweet red flesh and throw away the lesson. Save the seeds. Roast them. Dry them. Grind them. Learn from them. Teach your children what real food looks like.
Because Father put more in that watermelon than just sugar and water.
He put minerals in it.
He put protein in it.
He put oil in it.
He put seed in it.
He put a lesson in it.
Next time you buy watermelon, ask yourself:
Am I choosing life… or convenience?
Seeded or a pill bottle?
🍉 Choose life. Choose seed. Choose what Father made.
