Popular history
The origin of lemon is a mystery. It is generally believed that it originated in northern Myanmar and China. A study on the genetic origin of lemon shows that lemon originated from a hybrid of citron and bitter orange.
According to the records of the Jewish historian Flavio Josephus, in the 1990s BC, Jews in Jerusalem threw lemons at priests who made mistakes, although Jews traditionally used citron instead of lemon. In ancient Rome, lemons entered Europe from southern Italy not later than 1 century, but the cultivation of lemons was not successful at that time.
Lemons were introduced to Persia, Iraq and Egypt around the 7th century. Lemons first appeared in written records in an Arabic book about agriculture in the 10 century, when lemons were also used as gardening plants to decorate Islamic gardens. From 1000 to 1 150 years, lemons were widely transported in the Arab world and the Mediterranean region.
