Frankincense – Its many uses and forms; what you need to know

The lemon plant is native to India and possibly China, and was introduced to Europe by Crusaders during the Middle Ages. Because lemons contain significant amounts of vitamins A, B, and C, sailors were once given an ounce a day to help prevent scurvy, eye problems, and other vitamin deficiencies. Large-scale lemon cultivation in Europe began in Genoa in the mid-fifteenth century. The fruit was later brought to the Americas by Christopher Columbus, and Spanish explorers helped spread lemon seeds further. Initially, lemons were used mainly as ornamental plants and for medicinal purposes, and only much later did they become a common ingredient in cooking.
