Thank you for a wonderfully informative video. I received some Citron fruits for free from someone in my town and I thought they were picked too early because they were green and they tasted sour, so I made "lemonade" with them. Now after watching your video I realize that the sour taste is normal whether he left them on the tree longer or not, but the citronade was great!
Thank you so very much for your information on citron! I'd love to know where to buy a glazed piece now! In the 1940's to 60's my mother made an incredible fruitcake every December. She would drive 60 miles to San Francisco and purchase one or two halves of candied, firm, citron, longer than and as wide as my adult hand, with color from pale green on the inside to a medium avocado green outside. She also purchased whole candied big cherries, and halves of candied oranges, apricots and lemons. She would cut the candied fruit into 2-3 inch pieces and submerge them in a vat of brandy for a month. Then she made a binding dough of brown sugar, eggs, flour, ginger, allspice, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and soda. (I got this dough recipe from a 1949 cookbook of hers.) This dough acted just like darkened "lead" connecting and binding the fruit together. It was decorated on top with paper thin slices of the fruit cut to look like flowers. It was baked for hours at a very low oven, and when thinly sliced, really looked like stained glass, unlike anything I've seen. It was rich in complex flavors and so delicious. I haven't located any nearby shops that carry glazed fruit like what she used to purchase in S.F. Those little plastic jars of mixed candied fruit that you see in the local grocery stores don't hold a candle to the glazed fruits in her fruitcake!
This wow ... what you wrote here is so cool . I would love to have tried it and you are lucky to have had an eating experience like that . I only just discovered that Trend recently and go to the Chinese Grocers and by Citron sea-witch just looks like Citron marmalade and you take a teaspoon of it put it in a cup with boiled water and it is absolutely Heavenly ... THE SCENT , ohmygod ... and it tastes great .
I won't lie I looked this up the second I learned lemons aren't naturally occurring and are a result of crossing a bitter orange with this fruit Very informative! Than you, now I'll go look up what a bitter orange is because I am just now learning about that too
I loved watching this, and your voice is so pleasant. It reminds me of childhood educational videos, which I loved. Please keep sharing information for us to absorb and enjoy.
Ummm.... I'm pretty sure this was one of the coolest videos I've seen about fruit.....hands down! I like how you talked about the different uses there are ....and your voice! All in all your presentation was really nice! Thanks
Yesterday I found a Citron fruit at a specialities market. Today I am making Carpaccio from it, by slicing it into thin layers, and together with Parmesano cheese, Parma ham, Pine seeds, Olive oil, some salt and pepper, a bit parsley and a self-baken spicy white bread. So, this fruit is definitly also for eating it fresh, this recipe is from southern Italy, but it is still not much known overseas. By the way, it also had about 60 seeds in it, which I will germinate, so I will live in a forest, or even better, I can give them away as presents in the future. 😁 Greetings from Germany
I have an indoor ponderosa lemon that give one fruit a year but it's delicious aromatic fragrance fills the whole house! So yes! Will definitely try to find a citron and try to grow it indoor too! 😊😁
Thanks so much! Just received a recipe from my >70yo friend for 'Dark Fruitcake', it was her Grandma's recipe, and hadn't a clue what citron was. You explained it so well, what a great video!
Haha we ate these in Peru. They grow there naturally, and we had no idea what they where. This helpful video just verified that we ate citrons for sure..that sure are sour!
Thanks for the video, Citrus is very common in my country, we make it jam out of the skin, you can keep the out side skin or just the white skin only. its very healthy.
'Etrog' is not a citron variety but the name of the fruit in Hebrew and there are many cultivars of this fruit here lol.. we use them in sukkot holiday for ritual stuff and use them for perfume, alcohol, peel jam and the seeds are used as a spice after being dried..
So much information! I’ve seen them in the HEB & had no idea what they were. You gave good examples for use and an excellent historical background! Thank you!.
I found a new product at my local Costco called "honey citron and ginger tea. It was in a warehouse sized jar. I like ginger, so I took a chance. I found it to be delicious because of the ample honey. It made a great tea, but I will probably eat it as a marmalade. It all but asked me for an English muffin. Thanks for the explanation. I never heard of a citron here in the Midwest, but I'm sure I say the "giant lemon" in an Ethnic speciality market that I look for new things to try. Thanks Shamrock Girl!
I found some growing in my parents backyard in South Louisiana. The tree is sharing a root with the Mandarin tree. We didn't know what they were until I picked one and cut it open.
It's eaten while green in Bengali cuisine. Locally known as Jara Lebu /Jara lembu/ shashni jamir. Slice it into thin crescent slices. Best way to explain.. Think of a pickled onion on your fish and chips, it's not the main part of your meal rather something that accompanies your dish. More of an acquired taste id say but when you like it, you'll love it
I literally didn't know what a Citron was at the start of the video. But by the time I was halfway through this video I was confident enough to assume you were probably mistaken about the rind not being edible. 1:11 So I just googled and sure enough, citron rind is perfectly edible. Lots of info on people eating it. No wonder my mouth was watering. This is like a person who hates lemons doing a video on lemons, asserting that lemons are "inedible", lol. _"I mean, like, I tried one and it really really sucked. So I hereby declare lemons to be inedible."_
BTW I'll munch everything but the seeds and the little wooden stem tip on the end of a lemon. The rind is delicious, especially when permeated with some lemon juice for more flavor, and salted. Some might prefer using sugar with, or instead of, salt.
I'm pretty sure that we have wild (volunteer) citrons growing here'd in middle Tennessee. They are green, round to oval, and about the sized of a small grapefruit. (Some of those characteristics may have to do with the fact that it is getting colder here, so they may be immature, but dropping from the trees.). I noticed the fragrance of the peel, and the other characteristics described when I brought one home and sliced it in two. I'm hoping that I'm correct, because there are a lot of them around here and are FREE for the picking!! LOL
@@thecheatingfoodie5028 A friend of mine found a tree growing deep into the forest while he was hunting and picked a few. He gave me one of them and I grew the tree from one of the seeds. There are three fruits on it at present.
i googled citron and your video came up. i know its been 4 years but i can't believe you have that fuckin tik tok music playing in the background of a 5 minute video holy shit
You can find it in my backyard for free. I am from northeast India and you will find so much citrus fruit here . It is also said that the origin of lemon is from northeast india
Does this Citron Fruit hv High levels of Vitamin C, potent antioxidants, dietary fibre, calcium, iron, beta carotene, niacin,manganese, zinc, selenium, Vit B6 and Potassium ? ??? Which fruits hv these loaded vits ??🎉
jewish tradition uses this citrus fruit in sukkot and many buy it for a pretty expensive price for a very nice ones how didn't you mention it on the video?
Thank you for the video! I am a Christian and learning about Feast of Tabernacles. This is an important fruit. Now I know why.
Etrog
Had to look these up because I have them growing in my yard.

Thank you for educating on the citron. Well done!
I won't lie

Very informative! Than you, now I'll go look up what a bitter orange is because I am just now learning about that too
SAME LMAO
Fun Fact. Citron is lemon in swedish.
Thank you for enlightening me about Citron. I use the 1941 American cook book a lot and it refers to Citron often in recipes. Now I understand!
This fruit is valued in South India for pickling. Used with right spices and salt it's a delicacy
Love this - you’re v knowledgeable and your voice is soothing ☺️
This was so helpful!!!

I just got this wonderful honey and ginger and Citron tea in a big jar from Costco it looks like jelly. Boy is it good I love it
Very interesting, thanks for the info!
Thank you for this video! I drink Korean honey citron tea....and I wondered about the fruit (citron).
Loved the video. I need candied citron for a very old recipe and could not find much information on it. Thanks
Good info! I will look for this next time I’m at the store. I will try to do the candied peel.
I have a tree of Citron in my home😃
Great job Sis!
I'm trying to figure out how to use, prepare and eat this fruit
Lupe Meza 😋

ty for this, I bought one for .49 cents! Your video was helpful
did we even ask?
I have seen this variety of citrus before in my local area
My grandmother’s homemade fruit cake calls for Citron and I’m guessing it’s the peel cooked down as you suggested.
I'll bet you it tastes absolutely Divine wow I'm drooling already and I am not kidding
Can you use this fruit to make a bitter?
You shd do a video on how to cook citrons and how to make a citron drink

@@collinsanderson2370 u know u could sell them to jews for their holiday of sukkot literally for like 50 bucks each
Where did you find citron? and I am in Houston and I can't find citrons
I find them almost exclusively at Central Markets. Also, the Hong Kong Market on Bellaire Blvd (or any of the food markets there) might have them.
Is the Buddhist hand a hybrid?
You mentioned twice that the rind is inedibble but then you give a recipe 🤔 I'm confused.
Where did you buy your citron from?
Can you make tea with citron?
I learned that lemons weren’t natural and I didn’t know what this was so I needed to learn what it was
I'm looking for the same one in Greece. Anyone can help me with that?
i googled citron and your video came up. i know its been 4 years but i can't believe you have that fuckin tik tok music playing in the background of a 5 minute video holy shit

Did she just say “inedible rind”?
You can find it in my backyard for free. I am from northeast India and you will find so much citrus fruit here . It is also said that the origin of lemon is from northeast india

"Citron" is the Swedish word for lemon, so I was hella confused when I heard of this fruit

That rind takes the pith.
