🛍 Product Information：
Binomial Name：Citrus medica
Chinese Name：香水檸檬 | 香櫞
Other Names：Perfume Lemon | Citron
Product Description：Citrons and bitter oranges are the offspring of today's varieties of lemons. Citron is a frequently used ingredient in Asian cuisine.
Culinary
While the lemon and orange are primarily peeled to consume their pulpy and juicy segments, the citron's pulp is dry, containing a small quantity of juice, if any. The main content of a citron fruit is its thick white rind, which adheres to the segments and cannot easily be separated from them. The citron gets halved and depulped, then its rind (the thicker the better) is cut into pieces. Those are cooked in sugar syrup and used as a spoon sweet known in Greek as "kitro glyko" (κίτρο γλυκό), or diced and candied with sugar and used as a confection in cakes. In Italy, a soft drink called "Cedrata" is made from the fruit.
Folk medicine
From ancient through medieval times, the citron was used mainly for supposed medical purposes to combat seasickness, scurvy and other disorders. The essential oil of the flavedo (the outermost, pigmented layer of rind) was also regarded as an antibiotic.
The juice of the citron has a high content of vitamin C and dietary fiber (pectin) which can be extracted from the thick albedo of the citron.
Variety：Varieties and hybrids
The acidic varieties include the Florentine and Diamante citron from Italy, the Greek citron and the Balady citron from Israel. The sweet varieties include the Corsican and Moroccan citrons. The pulpless varieties also include some fingered varieties and the Yemenite citron.
There are also a number of citron hybrids; for example, ponderosa lemon, the lumia and rhobs el Arsa are known citron hybrids. Some citron is not pure citron, but a citron hybrid.
Supply Season：Hong Kong is supplied throughout the year.
Storage Method：Store in the refrigerator for long-term storage.
Because lemon peels have many tiny pores, whether they are stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature, mold will occur when the weather is humid.
#Should Be / Avoided：
Suitable for: Suitable for patients with high blood pressure, myocardial infarction, weak spleen and stomach, kidney stones, and dry mouth.
Avoid: Since lemon tastes extremely sour and acid can generate heat, people with fever, gastric ulcer, hyperacidity, peptic ulcer, dental caries, cholecystitis, gallstones, and whooping cough should not eat it. In addition, it should not be used by patients with excessive phlegm, weak Qi, toothache, and diabetes.
The medicinal use of citron from ancient times to the medieval period was mainly used for medical purposes: prevention of seasickness, lung and intestinal diseases, scurvy and other diseases. Citron essential oil's flavedo (the outermost, pigmented layer of the peel) is also considered an antibiotic. Citron is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its dried tablets have a refreshing aroma, slightly bitter and slightly sweet taste, warm in nature and non-toxic. Regulate qi and reduce phlegm; widen the chest and resolve phlegm. Main symptoms include fullness and tightness in the chest and abdomen; swelling and pain in the flanks and ribs; cough with excessive phlegm.

*Edible Compatibility：
It has a strong aroma, sour and slightly bitter taste. Since the pulp and juice taste extremely sour and slightly bitter, they should not be eaten directly.
appropriate:
1. Lemon juice and seafood: Lemon juice with strong acidity can kill most bacteria in seafood within 15 minutes, so it is suitable to be eaten with seafood.
2. Lemon and honey: Eating together is very effective in treating bronchitis and nasopharyngitis.
3. Lemon and sugar: When cooked together, they have the effects of promoting body fluids, quenching thirst, appetizing, and anti-abortive effects.
4. Lemon and ginger: Decoction of the two together can regulate qi and vomiting.
Competing:
1. Lemon juice and carrots: The vitamin C-decomposing enzyme in carrots can easily destroy the vitamin C in lemons, thereby reducing its nutritional content.
2. Lemon and milk: Lemon contains fruit acid, which combines with the protein in milk to form a coagulated substance that is not easily digested, irritating the gastrointestinal tract and easily causing diarrhea.
Cooking Skills：It has a strong aroma, sour and slightly bitter taste. Since the pulp and juice taste extremely sour and slightly bitter, they are not suitable for direct consumption. They are mainly used as puree and sometimes as cooking materials.
