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

Citrus medica is one of the parents of lemons and several hybrids often referred to collectively as limes - it shares a similar flavonoid profile to lemons and limes.
