When squeezing lemons, don’t make the mistake of throwing away the seeds: they are worth their weight in gold used this way

3. Grow Your Own Lemon Tree

If you love gardening, lemon seeds are perfect for planting!

• Rinse the seeds to remove any pulp.
• Dry them for a day or two.
• Plant them in a pot with well-draining soil.
• Keep the soil moist and place in a sunny spot.

With patience, you can grow your own lemon tree and enjoy fresh fruit right at home.

🚫 What to Keep in Mind

• Lemon seeds are bitter and not typically eaten whole.
• Avoid swallowing large quantities.
• If using for skincare, always do a patch test first.
• Growing a lemon tree from seed takes time — sometimes several years before fruiting.
