In cooking, lemons are ubiquitous, enhancing dishes, sauces, and desserts primarily with their zest. While lemon juice, pulp, and zest are commonly utilized, why discard the seeds? Here are some ways to maximize their utility.

Next, place the seeds in a small container with damp cotton and allow them to sit for at least a week. Within this time, the seeds will sprout small shoots.
Continue to maintain a moist environment to encourage further growth until the shoots develop roots. Then, plant the seedlings in small pots filled with a mixture of soil and perlite to ensure proper drainage. Provide ample light, warmth, and moisture to nurture your lemon saplings into fruitful trees.
Create a Fragrance

Place the seeds in a small canvas bag and use them to infuse drawers, cabinets, or rooms with a refreshing lemon aroma. Hanging them near radiators in winter will release their delightful scent.
In essence, exploring the versatility of lemon seeds offers a multitude of benefits, from cultivating new plants to crafting aromatic experiences for your home.
