Tag: Citron fruit

Dating back to the 18th century, honey citron tea, known as *yujacha* in Korea, is a traditional herbal remedy that has long been cherished for its soothing properties. This fragrant and sweet-yet-tart beverage, popular for easing cold symptoms, relies on a unique citrus fruit and honey for its distinctive flavor and health benefits.

Native to India and China, the Buddha's hand citron has been revered in traditional medicine and culture for centuries. This unusual, fragrant citrus fruit, known for its finger-like segments, is more than just an ornamental oddity; it offers a range of potential health benefits when consumed correctly.

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.
