Best Answer

First known mention of a lemon in Egypt is supposedly 11th c CE. Lemons come from Assam, and then spread to India. No evidence that ancient Egyptians had them. We believe that there was knowledge of them in the Mediterranean transmitted by travelers, before the actual fruit was grown in the area. Just as the Romans were aware of lions, elephants and animals not indigenous to their climate, they were aware of some exotic things that existed in India.
