The lemon plant, native to India and possibly China, was introduced to Europe by Crusaders during the Middle Ages. Its high vitamin content—A, B, and C—made it a vital source of nutrition for sailors, who consumed an ounce daily to prevent scurvy and other deficiencies. The first significant cultivation of lemons in Europe began in Genoa in the mid-fifteenth century, and they were later brought to America by Christopher Columbus. Initially regarded as an ornamental and medicinal plant, the culinary use of lemons developed much later.
