Citron, also known as etrog in some cultures, is a large, fragrant citrus fruit with a thick rind and minimal pulp. Unlike other citrus fruits prized for their juice, citron is primarily valued for its zest and the candied peel. The flesh can range from sweet to slightly acidic. The peel, when fresh, has a bright yellow color, a waxy texture, and a strong floral aroma.

Citron should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Whole citrons can last for several weeks at room temperature if properly stored. To prolong freshness, refrigerate citrons in a plastic bag; this will help maintain their moisture content. Candied citron should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to prevent it from drying out. Properly stored candied citron can last for several months.
