Origin
The lemon is believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, specifically in the region of Assam, northern Burma, and China. It has been cultivated for thousands of years and was introduced to the Mediterranean region by Arab traders in the 1st century AD. From there, it spread to other parts of the world, including Europe, Africa, and the Americas through various trade routes and explorations. Today, lemons are grown in many countries around the world, with major producers including India, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, and the United States.
