It already seems customary that all the fruits or trees I bring are Asian, and although I thought that this one would be from the West, as if fate played a bad joke on me, it is also Asian! And coincidentally it also comes from India like mango and medlar... But well, unlike these, lemon is so to speak a somewhat more modern plant, after all the first writings of this date back to the tenth century (This does not mean that it has not existed before, but that it had not been tried before, so from this century it was that in addition to being consumed began to investigate it)

With a height of 3 to 6 meters, the lemon tree does not seem to be as large as other trees, however it can produce 350 to 400 specimens per year, making it a very profitable plant in terms of this area.

This tree and its derivatives do not withstand cold climates, they are plantations that have their place in the sand and dryness, the air is also a fundamental part in their growth, the clay or permeable earth, they are lovers of heat, so the appropriate temperatures for this type of trees are 25º onwards

They say that lemon has its risks, is this true?

Although it sounds like a lie or we simply think that this is not the case, on the contrary, lemon has great long-term negative potential for teeth, because excess acid and citric damages the enamel of the teeth, making them more likely to be part of the world of cavities or oral diseases, but this can be avoided if you brush your teeth after ingesting lemon directly from a glass. Another way is to take it with a straw or straw, in this way the citrus will not have a special effect on the teeth but would be ingested almost in a direct way.
