INTRODUCTION
‘I believe when life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade … and try to find someone whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.’
Ron White, comedian
HISTORY
The first citrus trees grew millions of years ago, and it is thought that there were originally three varieties, mandarin, citron and pomelo, from which all modern citrus fruit, including lemons, derive.
The lemon is most closely related to the citron, which probably originated in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, and from there spread via trading routes to the Middle East – excavations from Mesopotamia have revealed seeds dating to 4,000 BC. The citron travelled further west, arriving in the classical world probably by the 5th century BC, although it is difficult to trace its exact route. The word citron later came to refer to any type of citrus fruit, so references in ancient texts are ambiguous.
The Romans called the citron malum medicum. Virgil writes in the Georgics that the fruit came from Media (ancient Iran), and calls it the ‘happy citron fruit’, noting that it is used to chase ‘black venom’ from the body – an early recognition of its antiseptic properties. Indeed the ancient Romans used the citron primarily for medicinal purposes. It was believed that it cured all manner of complaints including snakebite, digestive problems and seasickness. The natural historian Pliny writes that the seeds were used as a breath freshener and it is said that the Emperor Nero consumed citrons to protect himself from poisoning attempts. The Greek philosopher and botanist Theophrastus wrote that the citron was not edible, but had an exquisite smell.
