Lemon

India proudly grows the most lemons in the world. The lemons are not as large, though, as those from other nations. However, India exports fresh lemons to places like Bangladesh, Thailand, and Japan. Along with being the leading lemon producer in the world, India also boasts many different types of lemon varieties.

Nimbu, Nemu, Champra, Elumicchai are some of the common names of lemons in India, cultivated across the country.

Lemons are classified as the citrus fruit, known as the Citrus limon in botany. It is also a hybrid fruit, not a fruit that grows naturally. This indicates that they are a genetic cross between two different fruits. Lemons are specifically a cross between the citron fruit and the bitter orange.
