Native to India and eventually brought to China by Buddhist monks, this wispy citron variety is prized for its candy-sweet rind and its intoxicatingly charming fragrance. Despite lacking enough pulp or juice to be used similarly to other citrus fruits, the rind is so sweet and floral that it is a sublimely effective infuser, especially in gin or vodka, and when candied in honey or sugar, it’s a truly delicious treat. When fresh, the zest alone can be a phenomenal finishing touch to sweet or savory dishes, delivering an invigorating aromatic mix of lemon and lavender.
