About Citrus fruit

Citrus fruit is a broad class of fruits from citrus plants, rather than one named variety. Members of the class vary in size, colour, sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and the proportions of juice, pulp, and peel.

It is encountered fresh or as an ingredient in foods and drinks, and may be used whole or separated into juice, pulp, or peel. The name does not identify a particular citrus species or establish whether the fruit is fresh, preserved, or processed.
