Description

Citrus fruits are fruits of trees or shrubs of the plant genus Citrus. The genus Citrus has been cultivated for thousands of years. Its cultivation is already mentioned in Chinese chronicles from 2200 BCE. As a result of this centuries-long cultivation, there are thousands of cultivars today.
The fruit consists of a number of layers. Citrus fruits can be eaten directly, but can also be used as a seasoning. Furthermore, they are often pressed into juice.
There are many crosses and cultivars. Most citrus fruits are very juicy and contain a lot of vitamin C. The trees only grow in warm countries, such as Spain, Greece, Italy and Israel.
The cradle of all citrus fruit is in Southeast Asia, and archaeological evidence of citrus fruit cultivation dates back to 2100 BC. Chr. The knobby citron is the least known of the three primeval citruses, yet it is the first citrus fruit to reach the Middle East and the Mediterranean. The orange was introduced to Europe by the Portuguese in the 16th century. The mandarin came in 1805.
Contrary to what was previously claimed, there are only three ‘true’ citrus varieties: the grapefruit or Citrus grandis, the mandarin or Citrus reticulata and the citron or cedrate, Citrus medica. The orange, for example, is in fact not a separate species, but a hybrid. The status of genera like Fortunella, then it’s about kumquat, and Poncirus is controversial. According to the Flora of China, it does not make sense to consider these as separate genera and Fortunella and Poncirus are synonyms of Citrus.
