A watermelon you are sure to <3

square-watermelon

Nope not this watermelon, well you may heart it but this is just an ordinary square watermelon.  Developed in Japan to take care of one of the biggest issues to ever face Japan, watermelon storage.  Easily done by growing the watermelon inside clear boxes these have been all over the internet for years.  Ok so what watermelon will you <3, read on to find out.

Oh yeah there’s the money shot, the heart shaped watermelon.  Leave it to the Japanese to trump the square watermelon, evidently watermelon shaping is a popular past time.  Created by Hiroichi Kimura, a farmer from Kumamoto, and his wife.  It apparently took them three years to develop the technique to create a perfectly heart-shaped watermelon.  Costing up to $160 per melon, giving the gift of watermelon has never meant, or cost, so much.
