Reply to comment by Rich_Acanthisitta_70 in Genomic analysis of 3-6,000 year old watermelon seeds finds the fruit likely had bitter pulp and greenish-white flesh, and may have been consumed primarily for its seeds by bobstonite

All you did was refer to some tabloid website and then you call what they say as "facts". Really now? I just showed you modern day varieties of two plants that people actively harvest and consume on a daily basis, but apparently I'm spreading false information? Instead of typing up a word salad, why don't you give me some actual examples?

You referenced a specialty produce supplier and motherearthnews. You're projecting, and wrong.

They aren’t wrong just because you don’t like their sources. China and India cultivated eggplant varieties for thousands of years. Eggplant was introduced to the Americas in the early 1500s, with varieties that are similar or the same as varieties we have available to this day. You’re calling this “settled information” when it’s not settled.
