Lemon seeds are the seeds extracted from the fruit of lemon trees, primarily Citrus limon. These seeds are small, oval-shaped, and typically have a hard outer shell that protects the embryo inside. Lemon seeds are used for propagation and can be planted to grow new lemon trees, which will eventually produce fruit. They are also sometimes used in various agricultural research and breeding programs.
