USEFUL PROPERTIES OF LEMON

Abstract

Lemon is a hybrid plant of the genus citrus. It is believed that the progenitors of all citrus fruits known today are citron, pomelo and mandarin. All the rest are hybrids resulting from mixing between these species and their "descendants". Lemon, scientists believe, is the “child” of citron and mandarin. It is believed that his homeland is the Deccan Plateau in central India. But when that very first lemon appeared on the planet, scientists cannot yet answer.
