It is perhaps a relative of bergamot.

Oh, it’s a very unusual citrus. I have not seen this before. I love candied fruits from citrus, it’s tasty, useful and sparingly :) Great recipe!

Yes, could definitely be citron, but almost certainly mixed with something else in its past, the fragrance was different from the other citron we have seen and cooked, and the rind closer to a pomelo than a citron. Footloose, that is so cool the link to biasong and piped, could it be that dayap, kaffir etc are all in that group of citrus fruit?

Citron says Wiki is one of the four original citrus types that engendered the dizzying diversity of citrus fruits we enjoy today (the other three are pomelo, mandarin and papeda). This claim smacks of the one about North American native fruits, that there are only three, Concord grapes, cranberries and blueberries. To be factual, the claim has to be radically modified with “that are commercially grown.” The citrus claim though is accurate, it’s based on analysis of their chromosomes.

Papeda caught my attention because this is the first time I came across it. Turns out our Cebuano biasong and samuraw belong under this subgenus.

Thrown off the scent by the green colour? Come to think of it, the citron peel in S&W’s fruit cake mix is greenish. Can’t tell whether they dyed it or not.

From the bumpy look of the rind, it may have kaffir lime parentage. Another good way to use up rind is to chop them up and tie into a small sachet/pouch with some muslin/cheese cloth. Dump this or several into a canister of tea leaves to perfume them. Same idea but julienned and into sugar to be sieved out with a simple colander 2 weeks later. Lastly, for those who, like me, bathe and shampoo with baking soda, do the same to get a nice lemony scent.
