What does CITRON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large, fragrant fruit resembling a lemon but with a thicker rind and less juicy flesh, or the shrubby tree that bears it.
The citron tree is one of the oldest citrus fruits known, and many botanists consider it, along with the mandarin and pomelo, an ancestor of most modern citrus varieties such as the lemon and lime. Its thick, bumpy rind is prized far more than the dry, sour pulp inside, and cooks candy the peel to make citron used in fruitcakes and other baking. In Jewish tradition, a particular variety called the etrog is one of the four species carried during the festival of Sukkot. Unlike the everyday orange or lemon, whole fresh citron fruit is rarely eaten on its own because of its thick pith and limited juice.
