Watermelon seeds are rich in fat and protein, and are widely eaten as a snack, added to other dishes, or used as an oilseed.
In China watermelon seeds are one of the most common snack foods, popular especially with women, competing with sunflower seeds, and sold roasted and seasoned.
In West Africa, they are pressed for oil, and are popular in egusi soup and other dishes.
I am sure most of you throw away the seeds!
