Historical Background
Limes originally grew in Asia, although today they thrive in many warm climates around the world. Traders introduced limes into Europe through the Moors, and from there the fruit travelled to the Americas. Over time, both the fruit and its essential oil became valued in cuisine, perfumery and traditional remedies.
