The lemon plant, native to India and possibly China, made its way to Europe through the Crusaders during the Middle Ages. Rich in vitamins A, B, and C, sailors were given an ounce a day to prevent scurvy, eye problems, and other vitamin deficiencies. The first significant lemon cultivation in Europe occurred in Genoa in the mid-fifteenth century, and it was later introduced to America by Christopher Columbus. Spanish conquests helped disseminate lemon seeds further. Initially valued for its ornamental beauty and medicinal properties, the lemon took time before it became a culinary staple.
