Maya cuisine[edit]

The lemma links to the Ancient Maya civilization but there are no reliable sources that can confirm its Mayan origin (rather than Yucatan origin). It is already sourced that the recipe dates back to 1946 and a Mayan origin conflicts with the factual history of citrus fruit.

There was no lime in ancient Maya cuisine. Mexican Lime is a hybrid between two Asian species from the Indian subcontinent. The Arabs brought these citrus species to the Middle East and the crusaders brought them to Europe. By the time it was first grown in the Americas on Haiti, Maya civilization had already collapsed. It took centuries for lime to reach Florida, after which it was introduced to Mexico. Despite its name, Mexican Lime does not originate from Mexico.

The Maya did not know any citrus fruit, their descendants do. Bijdenhandje (talk) 11:16, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
