August 29, 2004 Lemon Juice Day
Lemons originated in Southeast Asia and spread westward to India and the Mediterranean. Columbus brought the first seeds to the New World in 1493. Nobody knows when they got to the US, but lemons were growing in Florida in 1579. Of all the citrus fruits, lemons are the most detoxifying
