Damnen sea limes

Damnen sea limes are limes that are red. They are normally found at the bottom of the sea. They are picked up using a lime ship and are normally eaten in Damnen.

History
In about 2900 BC, the first recorded use of Damnen sea limes was recorded as the juice was drank instead of seawater. They were a little salty and sour. They were used for that until about the 5th century. In 629 AD the Romans borrowed Damnen sea limes for eating and accidentally made a weapon from it. When someone opened their mouth, they squirted the lemon juice in it. But one person enjoyed the taste, so they mixed some sand with it.

In the early 18th century to the 1930s, Damnen sailors often ate Damnen sea limes once they had fished one out of the sea. This was done to prevent scurvy. About half of Damnen sea limes were consumed by the sailors. In 1796, the first lime ship was commissioned by Damnen and Gau, and so Damnen sea limes were sold worldwide for the first time. The 100th, 150th and 200th anniversaries of the lime ship were celebrated with the oldest lime never eaten, from about 2500 BC.
