There's Viagra in Watermelons!

With a title of a blog like I just named this one - I need to explain myself quickly.  So, Gary and I stop at a roadside fruit stand on Sunday.  Gary stays in the car and I get out and look at all the fruits available.  I spot a watermelon that I wanted to buy.   I didn't even think to look or ask what the price was.  I just told the guy that I wanted this watermelon (it was very small) and 4 mangos.  He told me that I owed him 40.00 Bajan dollars!  That is the equivalent of 20.00 USD!  My jaw dropped and I said why is this watermelon so much?  The guy said that it was really good for you.  I looked at him skeptically.  He continued, "Yes, it is really good for men."  I then looked at him suspiciously at which point he said, "No, I'm serious - it has viagra in it!"  Then, I just started laughing.  Gary is looking on from the car - wondering what is going on.  The guy glances over at Gary and then walks to the car and tells Gary 'she don't believe me - that watermelon has viagra in it - it real good for you.'  So, folks there you have it - no need to go buy those expensive pills anymore - just eat more watermelon!

Ok, I promised yesterday that after I opened the sugar apple - that I would post pictures of it.  So, here they are:

After splitting the fruit open, this is what you would see:

You have to pull each section of a seed out - and here is what that looks like:

It was a lot of work to put each of these individual seeds into my mouth.  It was very sweet and tasty, but I'm not sure it was worth the effort.  So, you put this into your mouth and you suck the gooey stuff off of the seed and then you spit the seed out.  Although, I did feel like I was probably eating some really beneficial, high antioxidant fruit that researchers will find out years from now prevents something like cancer or alzheimers!  :)
Here are all the seeds that came out of that one little bitty fruit - can you believe it - it is as bad as a watermelon.  Oh wait!  Maybe in future years the researchers will discover that this fruit also contains viagra!  LOL
