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.

Why Do Certain Vegetables Grow Roots When You Put Them In The Fridge?
