Citron
Citron
Citron is a large fragrant citrus fruit with a thick, bumpy, and highly aromatic rind. The rind can be candied or preserved in sugar syrup. The inside of the fruit contains a small amount of juicy pulp and seeds, but it is not usually consumed due to its sour and bitter taste.
Citron is primarily used for its fragrant rind, which is highly prized for its essential oils and is used in a variety of culinary and non-culinary applications. The rind can be candied or preserved in sugar syrup and used as a flavoring agent in baked goods, confections, and desserts. Citron essential oil is also used in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics.
