What is "citrus"?

Citrus refers to a group of fruits belonging to the Rutaceae family, primarily known for their characteristic tangy flavor and high vitamin C content. Common citrus fruits include oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and tangerines. These fruits are typically round or oblong with a thick rind or peel that encases juicy segments filled with pulp and seeds. Citrus fruits are widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide and are enjoyed fresh, juiced, or used in cooking, baking, and beverages.
