The origin of Lemons is unknown, although they may have originated in Burma or China. Genetic research of lemons show that they are a hybrid of sour orange and citron.
Lemons are high in vitamin C and are thought to have many health benefits.
Look for smooth skinned, firm fruits. Avoid blotchy, mushy, or oversoft fruits.
