Did you know you can eat these?  Not that I thought it was bad to swallow them when eating a watermelon, but you can roast them and eat them just like pumpkin seeds.

I was sitting here eating watermelon and looking at all these great seeds wishing I could grow some (all my pots are being used for tomato and basil plants!) and so I googled directions on how to conserve watermelon seeds, and low and behold, there is a recipe for roasting them.  Turns out they are a good source of protein and other stuff.  It suggested to dry them out, then grind them and use them as a flour replacement. 

I don't think I will be swallowing so many now, or if I do I will chew them up, or spit them out to make flour out of them.  That is cool!  How many watermelon seeds have I just spit out and wasted all of my life?
