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

1. Grow Your Own Lemon Tree:

After savoring a lemon, instead of discarding the seeds:

 

Rinse them under room temperature water and dry them on a paper towel.

Using tweezers, carefully peel off the outer layer of the seed.

Position the seed in a yogurt container filled with damp cotton for roughly a week.

In about a week, you’ll notice a tiny sprout emerging from the seed.

Continue nurturing the sprout in moist conditions until it sprouts tiny roots.

Prepare a mixture of soil and perlite for proper drainage and plant your sprout in a pot.

Position the potted sprout in a sunny, warm spot away from drafts, ensuring the soil remains damp.

With patience and care, your sapling will grow into a lemon tree, rewarding you with luscious fruits in due time.

2. Natural Lemon Seed Perfumer:

Don’t underestimate the aromatic power of lemon seeds!

 

After rinsing and drying the seeds, retain their skin.

The seeds, inherently fragrant, can be placed in a small cloth bag.

Use this bag as a natural perfumer in drawers, wardrobes, or even rooms like the bathroom.

When positioned near a heater during winter, the seeds release a delightful lemony aroma.
