History and background
The history of lime fruit is a tale of exploration, trade, and innovation. Limes are believed to have originated in Southeast Asia where wild varieties still grow to this day. The fruit was highly valued for its acidity, flavour and medicinal properties. As trade and colonisation expanded, limes where introduced to new regions, including the Middle East, Africa and the Mediterranean. The Arabs played as significant role in spreading limes and their cultivation. The Portuguese, who established trade routes with India and Southeast Asia, introduced limes into Europe in the 16th century. Limes were introduced to the Americas but Spanish and Portuguese explorers and today limes are grown in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
