Why do you think verjuice has been replaced by lemon juice? Lemons are what time period?

Verjuice literally means "green juice."  It is the sour juice of unripe 
fruit, although in our context the fruit is usually grapes or crabapples. 
It adds an acidic bite.  It has largely been replaced in modern cooking by 
lemon juice.
