Dried lemon seeds add texture and a subtle citrus scent when blended with herbs and essential oils in homemade potpourri or sachets.
🚫 What Not to Do
Don’t eat lemon seeds raw in large amounts. Their bitterness and natural oils can cause digestive upset.
Don’t blend them into smoothies. The tough texture doesn’t break down well and could add a gritty, unpleasant feel.
Avoid giving them to pets. Citrus seeds can be toxic to animals.
