"Citron, characterized by its lemon-colored rough exterior, is a fragrant citrus fruit. It holds the distinction of being one of the earliest citrus fruits from which all other citrus varieties evolved. Known as ""Heralikayi"" in Kannada, ""Neeboo"" in Hindi and ""Narthangai"" in Tamil, citron's white rind is rich in dense nutrients, making it a valuable ingredient in a range of culinary delights, including pickles, jams and marmalades. Its outer zest lends a refreshing twist to beverages."
