Are lemon seed poisonous?What happens if you [br]swallow a lemon seed? Lemon seeds are not

0:00:05.830,0:00:11.770
poisonous if ingested. However, they can have a [br]bitter taste due to the presence of a substance

0:00:11.770,0:00:18.430
called limonin, which is found in the seeds and [br]rinds of citrus fruits. While they're not harmful,

0:00:18.430,0:00:23.530
they aren't typically eaten because of their [br]bitter taste and hard texture. That being said,

0:00:23.530,0:00:29.050
it's not recommended to consume large amounts of [br]lemon seeds, or any fruit seeds for that matter,

0:00:29.050,0:00:34.810
due to their potential to cause digestive [br]issues if eaten in large quantities. But

0:00:34.810,0:00:40.450
swallowing a lemon seed by accident should not [br]cause any harm. If you're juicing a lemon or

0:00:40.450,0:00:45.730
preparing a dish that requires a lemon, [br]you can remove the seeds before using it

0:00:45.730,0:00:50.350
to avoid the bitter taste or any potential [br]choking hazard, especially for children.
