Somebody posted an article about square water melons in
Japan. It maybe true as Japan is very good in innovation but would like to see it myself. Here is the short
article about growing square watermelons.
In Japan they have square watermelons
They get square watermelons by growing them inside of square
glass cases. That way they can fit easily into a refrigerator, and you can
stack things on them. Square watermelons are expensive though (10,000 yen or
about $82). Compare that to regular round watermelons which cost about $15-20
in Japan.
However, somebody who has lived in Japan for seven years confirmed
that he had never seen watermelon in a square shape. Does it mean that it is
only sold in a specialized store or it is still an experiment? It would seem
like a big job to grow them in square shape glass and having to built these containers for the purpose of fitting
conveniently in the fridge. Since the people who will be enjoying this fruit still has to cut it
or slice it into bite size before serving. In fact, you shape them however you
want it like heart, triangle, and round shapes to make it look good. It just
outweighs the purpose of building the glass boxes against the purpose of accommodating
space.
In India, it cost a $1 for a 5 kilogram watermelon and in
Zimbabwe you get two huge watermelons for 50 cents and they are oval or round.
No matter how much it costs, sure watermelon looks different if they are square shape as we are so used to seeing them round.
