"Are lemon seeds poisonous?" is a common question that arises when considering blending them. Lemon seeds contain small amounts of compounds called amygdalin, which can release cyanide when broken down. However, the amounts in lemon seeds are generally considered safe for consumption in normal quantities. Blending lemon seeds along with the fruit might not significantly elevate cyanide levels. If concerned, removing seeds before blending is a precaution. In culinary use, lemon seeds are often ignored due to their bitter taste. Ultimately, while lemon seeds contain amygdalin, the levels are typically too low to pose immediate harm, making their inclusion in a blend generally safe."
