Oranges, along with other citrus fruits, originated in the Southeast Himalayan foothills, spanning parts of India, Myanmar, and China. The word "orange" comes from the Sanskrit word "nāranga," referring to the orange tree. Sweet oranges are a hybrid between pomelo and mandarin, with evidence of their ancient ancestry found in fossils from Yunnan, China.

Lemons have a fascinating history that dates back thousands of years, tracing their origins to northeastern India, northern Myanmar, and China. They are believed to be a hybrid, a cross between the bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) and citron (Citrus medica). The citron was one of the first citrus fruits introduced to the Mediterranean from Persia as early as the 4th century BC. However, lemons as we know them today emerged much later.

Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is an evergreen vine that can reach up to 15m in length. It has thick stems and greenish to yellow flowers. The fruits are long, thin pods that contain thousands of tiny, black seeds. Vanilla has fleshy aerial roots that cling to trees and allow it to climb.

Originating from New Guinea, the tall, bamboo-like grass known as sugarcane is processed to produce sugar. The history of sugarcane use dates back over 4,000 years to New Guinea, where it is believed to have first been domesticated. From there, sugarcane cultivation spread to Southeast Asia and India. Ancient Indian texts from 1500 BCE mention "śarkarā," which referred to the crude form of sugar extracted from sugarcane. India became the birthplace of crystallized sugar around 500 BCE, significantly advancing the use of sugarcane from a simple source of sweetness to a more refined product.
