The lemon plant is believed to be native to India or possibly China, with its introduction to Europe occurring during the Middle Ages through the Crusaders. Rich in vitamins A, B, and C, lemons were historically given to sailors to prevent scurvy and other vitamin deficiencies. The first significant cultivation of lemons in Europe commenced in Genoa during the mid-fifteenth century, later making its way to America via Christopher Columbus. Initially valued for their ornamental beauty and medicinal properties, it wasn’t until much later that lemons began to be embraced in culinary applications.
