Citrus medica 'Maxima' - huge fruits that can even reach a weight of 2kg, with a size of over 30 cm. The taste is also special - the pulp is sour, the white pith is mildly sweet.

Citron (Citrus medica) is one of the historic, basic or primary citrus species. The ripe fruits are large, with a yellow peel typical of lemons, which represents the most important part of the fruit. The peel is very rough, hard, and exceptionally thick, making up to 70% of the entire fruit. Its color varies greatly depending on the ripening period, from deep green when the fruit is unripe, to golden yellow when ripe. The main products obtained from citron are candies and liqueurs, while the oil is a byproduct used as a flavoring in sweets and drinks.

Citrus medica is one of the ancestors of the lemon and several hybrids often collectively called limes - it shares a flavonoid profile similar to lemon and limes.
