We would like to thank James from Tillamook Oregon for asking the following question, are yellow watermelon seeds safe to eat? Yes, believe it or not, the yellow watermelon seeds are healthy for you to eat. They contain lots of fiber and many essential vitamins and minerals. Eating them as they appear in a regular piece of watermelon is actually recommended. Like any seeds however, they can be difficult to digest, especially if they are not chewed enough. So be sure to chew them up a little, which will allow your body to absorb the nutrients they have to offer. If you eat a lot of them, it is unlikely to cause an upset stomach, however you might feel a little heavy, and possibly even a light indigestion. But that is only if you consume handfuls of them. The amount that naturally occurs in a watermelon are unlikely to be enough to upset your stomach even in the slightest.
