Lemon seeds: if you throw them away, you are doing it wrong! They are very useful!

Lemon seeds: if you throw them away, you are doing it wrong! They are very useful!

We understand that nothing is wasted with lemon: the juice flavors sweet and savory recipes, diluted in water it quenches thirst; The grated zest smells like cookies and cakes, or flavors alcohol to make limoncello. What about seeds? This is not a product to throw away.

Of course we can plant them in pots to have a new plant available. Wash them thoroughly, dry them and remove this thin skin using tweezers. Place them in a glass on a damp cotton pad. After a while we will see the first shoots, when they grow we can pot them in the ground.

Or, and this is a real surprise, they can turn into bags eventually.

Wash and dry them, then place them in a cotton, linen, silk, tulle or fabric bag. Close them and heat them in the microwave or on the radiator. They will absorb heat, but release it slowly: they can therefore be used on painful areas such as the neck, neck, joints to benefit from their natural healing power.

Or, use it to scent drawers and cabinets, add a few drops of essential oil and enjoy the result.
