                                While all citrus fruits contain some amount of citric acid, the level of acidity in citron varies significantly by variety and can be far milder than its cousin, the lemon. This ancient fruit is unique because its flavor profile is heavily influenced by its thick, fragrant rind rather than its minimal, and sometimes even absent, pulp.
