AI overview
The citron is a large, fragrant citrus fruit with a thick rind that is one of the original citrus fruits from which nearly all other citrus varieties developed through natural and artificial breeding. Today it is used in cooking, traditional medicine, perfume, and religious practices, though its hybrid offspring like lemons and limes are more commercially important than the citron itself.
