The 'Eureka' grows year-round and abundantly. These are mostly grown in San Diego County, USA. The 'Bonnie Brae' is oblong, smooth, thin-skinned and seedless. Varietiesĭetailed taxonomic illustration by Franz Eugen Köhler. The word draws from the Old French limon, then Italian limone, from the Arabic laymūn or līmūn, and from the Persian līmūn, a generic term for citrus fruit, which is a cognate of Sanskrit ( nimbū, ' lime'). The origin of the word lemon may be Middle Eastern. In 1747, James Lind's experiments on seamen suffering from scurvy involved adding lemon juice to their diets, though vitamin C was not yet known as an important dietary ingredient. In the 19th century, lemons were increasingly planted in Florida and California.

It was mainly used as an ornamental plant and for medicine. Spanish conquest throughout the New World helped spread lemon seeds. The lemon was later introduced to the Americas in 1493 when Christopher Columbus brought lemon seeds to Hispaniola on his voyages.

The first substantial cultivation of lemons in Europe began in Genoa in the middle of the 15th century. An article on Lemon and lime tree cultivation in Andalusia of Spain is brought down in Ibn al-'Awwam's 12th-century agricultural work, Book on Agriculture. It was distributed widely throughout the Arab world and the Mediterranean region between 10. The lemon was first recorded in literature in a 10th-century Arabic treatise on farming, and was also used as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens.

They were later introduced to Persia and then to Iraq and Egypt around 700 AD. However, they were not widely cultivated. Lemons entered Europe near southern Italy no later than the second century AD, during the time of Ancient Rome. A genomic study of the lemon indicated it was a hybrid between bitter orange (sour orange) and citron. The origin of the lemon is unknown, though lemons are thought to have first grown in Assam (a region in northeast India), northern Burma or China. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. The tree's ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The lemon ( Citrus limon) is a species of small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to Asia, primarily Northeast India ( Assam), Northern Myanmar or China.

At last check, with over seventy reviews the game pulls in a 4.5 Star rating in the Windows Phone Store.

Puzzles aren't crazy difficult but will make you think a little while searching the depths of your brain for the answer. However, I can see 4 Icons 1 Word being a game that is worth visiting from time to time. I don't think the game has the strength to be a go-to gaming title on your Windows Phone. While game play did start off a little on the slow side, the more I played the more 4 Icons 1 Word began to grow on me. Overall ImpressionĤ Icons 1 Word may not appeal to everyone but the game has potential. Some puzzles could have more than one possible solution and you'll need to see which possibility fits the available letters the best. After about the fifteenth level the puzzles begin to get a little more challenging but never overly difficult.

Puzzles start out somewhat on the easy side, such as four different types of ice cream being pictured with 'ice cream' being the answer.
