Citron
Product description
The citron is the citrus fruit from which all others come. 🍋 Large fruits, thick and wrinkled peel, and inside a fleshy white part that is bitter in other citrus fruits, but here is sweet and crunchy.
That's what you eat. The juice is scarce and delicately acidic, but the albedo, the white pulp, is sliced and seasoned like a vegetable. The most striking thing is the scent: you can smell it from another room.
What it's like
- Large fruit, thick, wrinkled, bright yellow peel
