The word lemon is derived from the Persian limun and the Arabic laimun – both referring to citrus fruits. Unknown to the ancient Greeks, the lemon was apparently brought to Europe by Roman soldiers returning from Asia Minor. Some sources state that the lemon tree came to Sicily at the end of the 5th century, others that it came from Arabia in the 12th century, and that during the Middle Ages crusaders brought rich treasures back from the Holy Wars, the lemon being one of them. Whatever the case, Italy became one of the main lemon-producing regions and nowadays Sicily has the reputation for producing the best lemon oil. Lemon has long been considered one of the most important natural medicines for home use; in antiquity the Egyptians employed it as an antidote for fish and meat poisoning. In ancient times the effective germicidal properties of lemon encouraged its use in removing toxicity from magical implements.

This translates as between 675 and 1,400 lemons, depending on the time of harvest, (or 3,000 lemons producing 1 kilo.) Surprisingly, the oil is produced mostly from the unripe green fruit as these are a richer source of oil.Brain research has found that lemon activates the centre of the hippopcampus, (part of the brain connected with learning and memory), and Japanese scientists discovered that when lemon was diffused in a room, typists made 54% less errors – proving it improves the ability to concentrate.
