Learn more about the lemon, its history and recipes

The lemon is native to Asia and was unknown to the Greeks and Romans, being mentioned for the first time in the book on agriculture Nabathae around the 3rd or 4th century. Its cultivation was not developed in the West until after the Arab conquest of Spain, then spreading throughout the Mediterranean coast where it is abundantly grown, due to the mildness of the climate, for internal consumption and export. Its fruit has a high content of vitamin C (501.6 mg/L) and citric acid (49.88 g/L). It is used to make desserts (such as rice pudding, in which its peel is used for flavoring) or natural drinks like lemonade and milk merengue, to which cinnamon is also added. The slices are used as decoration for drinks. Due to the acidity of its juice, it can be used to purify water by adding 4 or 5 drops per glass of water and letting it sit for a few minutes.
