Best Answer

Lemon seeds do naturally contain salicyclic acid which is the main ingredient in Aspirin, though this is in small amounts. Other than that there is nothing present in large enough quantities to make lemon seeds inedible besides the possibility that the hard seed coat or the bitter/astringent chemicals inside the seed could cause digestive problems to some people. It would probably be best for a person to try to prevent eating the seeds but any accidental ingestion would not be harmful unless the person had an allergy or a medical condition that would be aggravated by ingestion of hard seeds such as irritable bowl syndrome or diverticulitis.

No, but carrot sticks are, especially if you blend them with oil

Yes. Lemon mint leaves are used in stews and tea. It can also be used as an insect repellent by rubbing some leaves on your skin. It's also deer resistant.

You would not normally eat them, but they will do you no harm if you accidentally swallow one or two.
