Lemon / ನಿಂಬೆ / नींबू

Lemons are believed to have originated in northeast India as a cross between a citron and a sour orange. The exact location of their origin is unknown, but they have been cultivated for thousands of years.

Lemons were cultivated in Egypt and Iran by 700 AD. They were also used in early Islamic gardens.

Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola in 1493.
