Just a few other things good about lemons:
- Lemons have been cultivated in the Mediterranean from as early as the first century A.D.
- To this day, the British Navy requires ships to carry enough lemons so that every sailor can have one ounce of juice a day to aid in the prevention of scurvy
- During the Renaissance lemon juice was used by the fashionistas of the day to redden their lips
- Lemons are fat free, high in fiber, loaded with Vitamin C, Vitamin A, loaded with healthy minerals and contain tons of beneficial antioxidants
