Is It Normal For The Seeds To Grow Roots While Still Inside The Fruit?

Posted by admin on July 12, 2010

Dear all,
My folks just bought this papaya from a local supermarket and upon slicing it open, we found that all the seeds inside the papaya had grown roots that kind of looked like beansprouts.
Now, we have tried googling this interesting phenomenon but found no records whatsoever.
So is it a norm, or do we have a potential mutated fruit here that might grow to eat us all in the future?
Unfortunately, I cannot provide pictures because they had already processed the poor fruit for consumption.
Appreciate all genuine and constructive replies, thank you.

What Is An Easy Fruit I Can Grow Inside Or On My Porch?

Posted by admin on February 28, 2010

I was thinking strawberries or what about blueberries?
I think i’m in growing zone 5a (NY)
I don’t have a lot of experience growing but I’d like to teach my kids.
Is there a site I can get more info and help?
any good companies to order the plants from?
