    But does the [seedless] flesh taste less-sweet than the black-seeded variety? That’s a matter for debate.

I've always preferred the seeded watermelons, but I think they might just be easier to pick out good ones, although they're impossible to find in grocery stores nowadays. I think it is possible for the seedless to be just as sweet, but all too often, they're either underripe (not so sweet) or overripe (too mushy). The seeded ones are much easier to find in that perfect middle ground. I guess I'm like Goldilocks when it comes to watermelons, but they are one of my favorite fruits.
