It is thought that the cultivation of thelemon (Citron) originated inSoutheast Asia approximately 4,000 years ago. as they are mentioned in Oriental writings from that era. It was then brought to the Middle East between 400 and 600 BC. Arab traders in Asia were responsible for the introduction of lemons to eastern Africa and the Middle East between 100 and 700 A.D.
