Origin
The origin of lemon is uncertain, some says that they came from Asia, most likely from China and/or India and it was there 2000 years b.C. It then rapidly spread throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East regions. Because of their sour taste, it wasn’t appreciated by Romans so much but Arabs loved them and the crusaders brought them in the South Italy. The first real cultivation in Europe was in Genova, during the XV century, and from there sailors used to bring it with them to cure scurvy.
