What is a "citron"?
Citron belongs to the citrus family. Known for its large size and thick rind, the citron has a distinct fragrance and a tart, slightly bitter taste. Its flesh is generally less juicy compared to other citrus fruits. The citron is often used in various culinary preparations, including candied peel, marmalades, and flavorings for beverages and desserts. Its aromatic zest adds a refreshing and citrusy twist to dishes, while its pith can be transformed into a fragrant and tangy preserve. Despite its less common usage in everyday cooking, the citron remains a cherished ingredient for those seeking a bold and vibrant citrus experience.
