Are lemon seed poisonous?What happens if you
swallow a lemon seed? Lemon seeds are not
-
poisonous if ingested. However, they can have a
bitter taste due to the presence of a substance
-
called limonin, which is found in the seeds and
rinds of citrus fruits. While they're not harmful,
-
they aren't typically eaten because of their
bitter taste and hard texture. That being said,
-
it's not recommended to consume large amounts of
lemon seeds, or any fruit seeds for that matter,
-
due to their potential to cause digestive
issues if eaten in large quantities. But
-
swallowing a lemon seed by accident should not
cause any harm. If you're juicing a lemon or
-
preparing a dish that requires a lemon,
you can remove the seeds before using it
-
to avoid the bitter taste or any potential
choking hazard, especially for children.
