SMTM points out that differences in fertilization and propagation (clonally or by seed) mean that we don’t know whether or not historical key limes had enough vitamin C to cure scurvy.
Hm, that would still make the post misleading — “Sicilian lemons really ARE more like polar bear meat than they are like West Indian limes, at least for the purposes of treating scurvy” is a very different claim from “we don’t know whether or not historical key limes had enough vitamin C to cure scurvy.”

Thanks for contacting them, though!
Agreed!
