Citron is a large, fragrant citrus fruit with a thick, bumpy rind and minimal pulp or juice. Native to Southeast Asia, citron is widely used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, often candied, preserved, or as zest in baked goods and savory dishes. Packed with vitamin C, it supports immune health and provides antioxidants that combat oxidative stress. Citron also contains fiber and small amounts of potassium and magnesium, contributing to overall heart and digestive health. Its essential oils are prized for their aromatic and therapeutic properties. However, citron is low in juice content, so it’s not often consumed fresh. While generally healthy, candied citron can be high in added sugars, so moderation is key. With its rich history and unique flavor profile, citron is both a culinary and nutritional gem.
