Lemons, those vibrant citrus fruits with their one-of-a-kind taste, have long been an integral part of Mediterranean cuisine and home décor. These tart fruits first appeared in Asia, but they spread over the world via commerce.
The seeds of these fruits are often ignored and wasted, even though their juice and zest are used to garnish several dishes and desserts. In order to harness the full potential of the lemon—seeds and all—let’s look at these methods.
(1) Grow Your Own Lemon Tree:-
Avoid discarding the lemon’s seeds after you’ve enjoyed eating them:
Before patting them dry with a paper towel, wash them in water that is room temperature.
To begin, use tweezers to carefully peel off the seed’s exterior layer.
After soaking the cotton for almost a week, place the seed in a yogurt container.
A little sprout will emerge from the seed about seven days from now.
It is critical to keep the sprout in a damp environment until it forms tiny roots.
Before planting your sprout in a container, make sure it has enough drainage by mixing soil with perlite.
Keep the soil wet by putting the potted sprout somewhere warm, sunny, and sheltered from drafts.
If you are patient and tend to your seedling properly, it will grow into a lemon tree and provide tasty fruits in due time.
