The lemon plant is native to India and perhaps China, and was brought to Europe by crusaders in the Middle Ages. As the fruit has a good amount of vitamins A, B and C, sailors were given an ounce a day to avoid scurvy, eye problems and other vitamin deficiencies. The first real lemon cultivation in Europe began in Genoa in the mid-15th century. It was later introduced to America by Christopher Columbus. Spanish conquests helped spread lemon seeds even further. Lemon was mainly used as a garnish and as a medicine. It was only much later that it began to be used in the kitchen.
