Lime is thought to have originated from Northern India and Myanmar from which it was brought (together with lemon and sour orange) to Persia, Palestine, Egypt and Europe by the Arabs.  Limes are also found in the jungles of tropical central and northern South America – some suggest that they must have come to the area via the Pacific Islands with the Polynesians. Spanish and Portuguese explorers are credited with bringing limes to America around the 16th century, at the time when concentrated lime juice was carried on all British ships to help prevent scurvy.
