Citron is a fragrant, thick-skinned citrus fruit known for its intense aroma and unique flavor profile. Unlike other citrus fruits, citron has very little pulp and juice; its primary culinary value lies in its thick rind, which is often candied or used to make zest. The fruit itself is typically large and oblong, with a bumpy, uneven surface that ranges in color from green to yellow. The flavor of citron is less tart than lemons or limes, offering a complex citrusy taste with subtle floral and sweet notes. The candied rind is a popular ingredient in baked goods and confectionery, adding a distinct citrus flavor and chewy texture.

Citron should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for short-term storage (up to a week). For longer storage, wrap the citron in plastic wrap or place it in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate it. Refrigeration can extend its shelf life to several weeks. Candied citron can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
