Corsican Citron
The Corsican citron (called ''alimea'' in Corsican and ''cedrat'' in French) is a citron variety that contains a non-acidic pulp. The name is from its most original cultivation center which is even today, at the French Island of Corsica or Corse. It is said to be one of the first citrus fruit to reach the Corsican soil. History, production and uses Traditionally, it was one of the most important varieties employed in Succade production. The fruit used to be shipped to Genoa, Italy, where it was de-pulped in the large centers in Livorno, hence its name the ''Citron of Commerce''. With 45,000 tons per year, Corsica was once the world's leading producer of citron. The historian Laurence Pinelli explains: Etrog For a short period of time Genoese merchants, who always supplied fruit for the Jewish ritual of Etrog, used to ship also some amount of this Corsican variety, while there was not enough available from Diamante. This tradition terminated due to competition with the Gr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Citron
The citron (''Citrus medica''), historically cedrate, is a large fragrant citrus fruit with a thick rind. It is said to resemble a 'huge, rough lemon'. It is one of the original citrus fruits from which all other citrus types developed through natural hybrid speciation or artificial hybridization. Though citron cultivars take on a wide variety of physical forms, they are all closely related genetically. It is used in Asian cuisine, traditional medicines, perfume, and religious rituals and offerings. Hybrids of citrons with other citrus are commercially more prominent, notably lemons and many limes. Etymology The fruit's English name "citron" derives ultimately from Latin, ''citrus'', which is also the origin of the genus name. Other languages A source of confusion is that ''citron'' in French and English are false friends, as the French word refers to the lemon, while the English word is translated ''cédrat''. Indeed, into the 16th century, the English name ''citron'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Honey Bee
A honey bee (also spelled honeybee) is a eusocial flying insect within the genus ''Apis'' of the bee clade, all native to Afro-Eurasia. After bees spread naturally throughout Africa and Eurasia, humans became responsible for the current cosmopolitan distribution of honey bees, introducing multiple subspecies into South America (early 16th century), North America (early 17th century), and Australia (early 19th century). Honey bees are known for their construction of perennial colonial nests from wax, the large size of their colonies, and surplus production and storage of honey, distinguishing their hives as a prized foraging target of many animals, including honey badgers, bears and human hunter-gatherers. Only eight surviving species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 43 subspecies, though historically 7 to 11 species are recognized. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. The best known honey bee is the weste ...

Greek Citron
The Greek citron variety of ''Citrus medica'' ( el, κιτριά, he, אתרוג קורפו or יְוָנִי) was botanically classified by Adolf Engler as the ''"variety etrog"''. This is remarking on its major use for the Jewish ritual etrog during Sukkot. It was also called ''pitima'', or the ''cedro col pigolo'' ("citron with a pitom"), because of its usually persisting pitom (carpel). The last does not only enhance its character, but also adds Halachic promotion. Description and illustration The following description is from the Nurenbergische Hesperides (2nd Volume; 8th Chap.) by Johann Christoph Volkamer, titled "About the ''Cedro col Pigolo''". He was growing that kind in his botanical garden in Nuremberg, and writes that it can also be called the "Jewish Citron", since it is mostly used for the four species. ''This tree does not become particularly big. The leaves are smaller than those of other citrons, and serrated, oblong, pointed towards the front, mixed with ...

Diamante Citron
The Diamante citron (''Citrus medica'' var. ''vulgaris'' or cv. ''diamante'' − it, cedro di diamante, he, אתרוג קלבריה or גינובה) is a variety of citron named after the town of Diamante, located in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, on the south-western coast of Italy, which is its most known cultivation point. This is why this variety is sometimes called the "Calabria Esrog". "''Esrog''" is the Ashkenazi Hebrew name for citron. History The Diamante citron was one of the most important varieties candied by the largest factories at Livorno, Italy; it was gathered from Liguria, Naples, Calabria & Sicily and then shipped to England and the United States. Association with Genoa Many religious Jews call it ''Yanover Esrog'' (Genoa citron), because of a long association of the fruit with the trading port of Genoa in northern Italy, that exported it to other countries. Genoa was known to supply citron for the Jews since the times of the Tosafists, along with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Etrog
Etrog ( he, אֶתְרוֹג, plural: '; Ashkenazi Hebrew: ', plural: ') is the yellow citron or ''Citrus medica'' used by Jews during the week-long holiday of Sukkot as one of the four species. Together with the ''lulav'', ''hadass'', and '' aravah'', the ''etrog'' is taken in hand and held or waved during specific portions of the holiday prayers. Special care is often given to selecting an ''etrog'' for the performance of the Sukkot holiday rituals. Etymology The romanization of the Hebrew word as ''etrog'' according to the Sephardic pronunciation is widely used. The Ashkenazi Hebrew pronunciation is ''esrog'' or ''esrig''. It has been transliterated as ''ethrog'' or ''ethrogh'' in scholarly work. The Hebrew word is thought to derive from the Persian name for the fruit, ''turunj'' (), likely borrowed via Aramaic. The Arabic word ''utroj'' or ''etroj'' (or etrog in Egyptian Arabic) أُتْرُجِّ means ''Citrus medica''. Taxonomy In Modern Hebrew, ''etrog'' is the nam ...
