At first glance, it’s hard not to be drawn in. A watermelon shaped into a heart, bright green and feels more like a gift than everyday fruit. Something meant for proposals, anniversaries, or small celebrations. It looks romantic before it explains itself.
This one isn’t imported, and it isn’t made just for display. It’s grown locally in Malaysia by LFS Farm Enterprise, and officially recognised by Malaysia Book of Records as the country’s first heart-shaped watermelon farm.
Most people encounter this watermelon through its shape first. That visual impression delays the real story.
Beyond the shape, it’s still a watermelon meant to be eaten. Sweet, familiar, and unmistakably a fruit. What’s different is the effort behind it. Growing heart-shaped watermelons requires precise timing, careful control, and patience, with real risk along the way. What gives it weight is that this effort happened locally, grown in Malaysia.
That’s where the record matters. Not as hype, but as a marker. It marks the moment when something once occasional and imported is now produced here, deliberately and properly. Not as a one-off, but as a repeatable outcome.
For Malaysia, the meaning is straightforward. This isn’t about comparison. It’s about completion. A local farm set out to do something uncommon, followed through, and made it real on Malaysian soil.
The heart shape draws attention.
What deserves recognition is that Malaysia did it — properly, proudly, and with care.
