citrus
Vitamin C source
Citrus refers to a group of tropical fruit trees and their acidic, juicy fruits—oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and their relatives.
The fruits share a distinctive tangy flavor from citric acid and a segmented flesh enclosed in a leathery rind.
As an adjective, citrus describes this flavor profile: a citrus dressing, citrus notes in the wine.
