Lemons, the vibrant citrus fruits cherished for their distinct taste, have been an integral part of Mediterranean culinary and home care traditions. Hailing from Asian regions, these zesty fruits journeyed to new territories through trade.
While they garnish our dishes and desserts with their juice and zest, their seeds are often overlooked and discarded. Let’s delve into how we can fully harness the potential of the entire lemon, seeds included.
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.
