Citrus medica is a thorny evergreen shrub or small tree, native to India and widely cultivated for its large lemon-like fruits that have a thick warty rind. The thick rind, when candied, is the Citron of commerce. Citron is…

Jerry loves growing unusual citrus and came across some new types recently when visitors brought him unnamed varieties to identify.

One was a citrange, which has three parents: one temperate, one subtropical and the third tropical. It’s not a great eating fruit but it’s a great, hardy rootstock for grafting other varieties onto.

This is how the citrange came to be growing on what had been a grafted ‘Lisbon’ lemon tree; the fruit started to emerge on the owner’s tree after he damaged the ‘Lisbon’ top of the tree, stimulating the rootstock to grow and fruit.

Jerry grew a few from seed to see what they tasted like.

Rangpur is a hybrid between a mandarin and citron - very vigorous and a heavy cropper but also very spiny, which is common to a lot of seed-sown citrus. This is a defence against being grazed but you can prune these off and they won’t resprout. The tree does seem susceptible to rust mite and last summer got a bad case of scale, leading to sooty mould.

The juice is very acidic but it makes a cracking marmalade.

Tangor is a green orange – a hybrid between a mandarin and sweet orange. It has the sweet juiciness of an orange but the flatter fruit of a mandarin. It’s not as vigorous as the Rangpur but is just as thorny but should make a useful small shrub, making great juice and lovely eaten fresh.

If sowing citrus seed, never let the soil dry out while they germinate, which should take about 6 weeks.

All citrus love compost-rich, freely draining, acidic soil.

All these citrus fruit annually in autumn.

Featured plants:

Citrange (Citrus x insitorum)

Rangpur (Citrus reticulata x medica)

Tangor (Citrus reticulata x sinensis)

“Our journey to the origin of Mediterranean perfumes takes us back to where everything began. To Magna Graecia and its art, philosophy, techniques…. And perfumes. Diamante, a small town with a great past. The Citrus Medica or Diamante Citron grows only here, the result of a mutation. One of the many miracles that have occurred in this stretch of the Calabrian coast caressed by Tyrrhenian breezes.” [travel notes]

It is the Perfect Tree, whose fruit - rich in flavour as well as perfume - symbolises the excellence of the chosen people in Jewish tradition. Rabbis come to this short stretch of the Calabrian coast to choose the finest citrons, an essential part of celebrations for Sukkot, the main Jewish holiday.

Review of YADAH's Green Tea Pure Cleansing Balm

YADAH is a Korean brand that cares about the health of your skin and the planet. They aim to make products from the best and safest natural ingredients. Their Green Tea Pure Cleansing Balm is designed to remove fine dust and oil in addition to heavy makeup, it’s designed in particular for sensitive skin. Key ingredients include 0.3% of green tea leaf powder (improves skin complexion, anti-aging, soothing, tones skin), olive fruit oil (moisturizing, anti-aging, healing, anti-inflammatory, anti-wrinkle, gently exfoliating), sunflower seed oil (moisturizing, vitamin-rich, anti-aging, treats dry skin), lavender oil (detoxifying, anti-acne, healing, skin toning, brightening) and tocopherol (strengthens skin, increases moisture, improves elasticity, moisturizing). This product retails for between $14-22 USD, you can get it here for $14.94 + shipping.

Ingredients

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PEG-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, Beeswax, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Water, Phenoxyethanol, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (0.3%), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Medica Vulgaris (Citron) Peel Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Tocopherol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Oil

To quickly note, I received this for free from Picky and YADAH in exchange for my honest review.

The balm contains 100 ml (3.38 oz) and doesn’t have a noticeable fragrance, but it does contain many essential oils.

The balm is pretty standard and doesn’t feel too heavy.

It's pretty oily and does start to break down to a more liquid form pretty fast.

It removes makeup very nicely and is non-stripping.

It doesn’t leave any oil residue once rinsed off.

Recommended use is to place an appropriate amount on dry hands and face and gently massage into the skin. It’s easy to rinse off or remove with tissue paper. It’s recommended to follow up with a cleansing foam. This is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. After using, so there are many essential oils in the ingredients list so this product is not fragrance-free. The physical fragrance isn't very noticeable, however. The cleansing balm has a very easy texture to work with and despite having a fair amount of irritants, this is a very gentle product that is suitable to any skin type, even to sensitive skin as I didn't personally notice any irritation. The ingredients are all very helpful in the skin maintaining moisture without being stripping or leaving a film or residue behind. I found this worked really well to remove dirt and gunk from my pores as well, it's also been gentle around my recent nose piercing. It's great to use as a double cleanse, both steps really help you feel clean without leaving the skin tight. I'd recommend this to anyone with dry, sensitive skin with enlarged pores.

What I like: this balm is very gentle, non-irritating, non-stripping and doesn't leave any film or residue. It's effective at removing dirt and oil and makeup is really nice to help loosen extra dirt from the pores. What I don't like: while it didn't affect me, there are several essential oils in this which can be irritants.

Pros:

Non-stripping

Gentle

Breaks down makeup easily

Removes dirt and oil effectively

Sensitive skin friendly

Doesn't leave a film or residue

Cons:

Contains irritants

Would I buy this?

Yes

Rating: 8/10

It turns out that mandarins are NOT hybrids! they are one of the core species of citrus!

The citrus taxa originated near the Himalayas, and the three most predominant ancestral citrus taxa are citron (C. medica), pomelo (C. maxima), and mandarin (C. reticulata), (and maybe C. micrantha)

Bergamots, limes, mexican limes, sweet oranges, grapefruit etc, those are hybrids!

Oh and Mexican lime is Asian/Australian!

This post was done thanks to picking mandarins in New Zealand xD References: Curk, F., Ollitrault, F., Garcia-Lor, A., Luro, F., Navarro, L., & Ollitrault, P. (2016).

CITRUS FAMILY

Where do citrus fruits come from?

All of the citrus fruits are from the family Rutaceae. This family is also known as the rue family and contains flowering plants that generally have a strong scent. The genus Citrus includes oranges, grapefruits, limes and lemons. These fruits have been cultivated since ancient times. They have probably originated from Australia, New Caledonia and New Guinea, although some research points to them originating in Southeast Asia. Many of the species are hybrids and there is speculation that even the wild true-breeding species are actually hybrids originally.

What do citrus fruits do?

All of the citrus fruits are noted for their fragrance. This is due to limonoids and flavonoids (both of which have strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties). They can help prevent kidney stones, as they contain high levels of citrate. Lemons are the highest, drinking diluted lemon juice daily has been shown to decrease kidney stone formation.

The vitamin C content of citrus fruits is legendary, and regular consumption has been found to decrease your cardiovascular and heart disease risks, whilst increasing life expectancy. Vitamin C is also a natural anti-histamine, preventing histamine release and aiding in its detoxification.  Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant, reducing oxidative stress.

How do I use citrus fruits?

Use the peel! It’s full of antioxidants and can help fight free radicals, balance blood sugar levels and support thyroid health. You can buy candied peel for desserts here.

Juice, have a look at our smoothie and juice recipes.

Mix with water, a slice or 2 of a citrus fruit in hot water first thing in the morning will help to alkalise your system and aid in cleansing.

What fruits do Real Foods sell from the citrus family?

Lemons are probably a hybrid between a bitter orange (C. Aurantium) and a citron (C. Medica). Although it could be a hybrid involving limes! They contain high amounts of citric acid, around 5-6% of total weight. Initially discovered in India, lemons were avilable during the Roman Empire's heydays but were not widely cultivated until the Arabs introduced them into Italy in the 8th century.  Colombus took them to America and it was then that their amazing effects on scurvy were noticed. They are highly valued for their juice and high vitamin C content.

Limes - C. Aurantifolia are so called because they have long been confused with lemons. The name is derived from ‘limun’. The 2 most popularly cultivated limes are the Mexican or key Lime and the Persian lime. Limes were unknown in Europe before the crusaders and were probably imported from Palestine after Arabs had introduced them there. Their incredible flavour and high essential oil content is used widely in cooking and is popular for marinades.

Tangerines – C. Tangerina is probably derived from C. Oculata. Less sour and sweeter than oranges, the name is derived from Tangiers which grew them widely at one time. The red-orange skin is usually what separates them from mandarins.

Satsumas – C. Unshiu are probably of Japanese origin and are very easy to peel. Sweet, their nickname the “Christmas orange”  is because they are very popular as Christmas treat in the U.K.

Sweet oranges are known as Citrus Sinensis and are a hybrid between a pomelo (C. grandi s or C. maxima) and a mandarin (C. reticulata). There is no history of the orange being grown in the wild and it’s thought to have been selected in China or northern India from their cultivation of mandarins and pomelos. Oranges have been grown from at least 2500 B.C.E in China.

Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) are a hybrid between lemons and oranges (it’s why they’re sometimes called orange  bergamot and others  call them lemon bergamots).  They are relatives of sour oranges and are famously unpalatable. Similar to Seville in the sense they are prized for their zest, their flavour and pith for marmalade making and their scent. They do not taste very nice however! Bergamots are only available occasionally through the year.

Bath Time Bliss: How Puainta's Pet Shampoo Makes Washing Your Pet a Stress-Free Experience

Bath time can be a challenging experience for both pets and owners, but with the right approach and shampoo, it can become a pleasant bonding moment. Puainta pet shampoo offers a gentle, plant-based formula that transforms bath time into a stress-free experience for your furry friend. Here's how this vet-recommended pet shampoo can make washing your pet easier and more enjoyable.

Make Bath Time Easy with the Right Shampoo

Choosing a Gentle Formula

The foundation of a stress-free bath is selecting the right shampoo. Puainta's IKEAN PET SHAMPOO-200 ml is crafted with sensitive skin in mind, making it perfect for pets who are prone to irritation. Its plant-based formula ensures that your pet’s coat and skin receive a thorough, yet gentle cleanse without discomfort.

Natural Ingredients for a Soothing Experience

This shampoo is enriched with natural ingredients like Fingered Citron (Citrus Medica Sarcodactylis) Extract and Peony Extract, which soothe and protect your pet’s skin. These botanicals help reduce inflammation, itching, and irritation, making bath time more calming for your pet.

No Harsh Chemicals, No Tears

Many pets resist bath time because of shampoos that contain harsh chemicals. Puainta's IKEAN PET SHAMPOO0-200 ml free from harmful additives, ensuring a safe, tear-free experience. This means no more discomfort for your pet and no more worries for you.

Step-by-Step Guide to Stress-Free Bathing

Preparation Is Key

A little preparation goes a long way toward a smooth bath. Gather your supplies, including Puainta's pet shampoo, towels, and a brush. Ensure the water temperature is lukewarm — too hot or too cold can add stress. Calm your pet with gentle words and offer a treat to build positive anticipation.

Massage and Lather for Relaxation

Once your pet is wet, apply Puainta's IKEAN PET SHAMPOO-200 ml and gently massage it into the fur. This not only cleans the coat but also provides a soothing experience. The rich, natural lather helps lift dirt while the massage calms your pet. Take your time — this is an opportunity to bond and reassure your furry friend.

Rinse with Care

Thoroughly rinse out the shampoo to avoid any residue that could irritate the skin. Be gentle with the water flow and avoid getting water in your pet’s eyes and ears. Rinsing well ensures your pet’s skin remains clean, healthy, and free from discomfort.

Post-Bath Care for a Happy Pet

Drying Techniques for Comfort

After the bath, gently towel-dry your pet, being careful not to rub too hard. For pets with long fur, consider using a hairdryer on a low heat setting, keeping it at a safe distance. Make sure your pet is completely dry to prevent chills or matting.

Brushing for a Shiny Coat

Brushing your pet’s fur post-bath helps remove any tangles and evenly distribute natural oils. This step is key to maintaining a shiny, healthy coat. Thanks to Puainta's , your pet’s fur will be soft, smooth, and easy to manage.

Positive Reinforcement

Reward your pet with treats, praise, or playtime after their bath. This helps them associate bath time with positive experiences, making future baths even easier. The more relaxed and happy your pet feels, the more stress-free bath time becomes.

Conclusion

With Puainta's pet shampoo bath time transforms from a dreaded chore to a soothing, enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. Its gentle, plant-infused formula ensures your furry friend stays clean, healthy, and happy — making every bath a blissful bonding moment.

Berakhot 12b: 21. "The OI."

So what is your adult fantasy? Would you know him if you laid eyes on him? How about just OI, or one eye? The Mishnah says, yes if he is Eyul, the pillar the leading man. Then, make of him a tassel.

If not, then he is Elon, a protruding oak, grind him down like a mortar on a pestle.

21. In Shlomo I am an interpreter. Ol Mitzvot, he wrote: "And you saw him and remembered all the commandments of God." A tassel, he wrote: "And make them a tassel and so on."

The Exodus from Egypt, he wrote: "which I brought out and others". Ela: knowledge of species, consideration of a crime, and consideration of foreign work - from here?

The term OI means "one eye" and also Island, similar to Ela, from which we get Eyul, "the baggage burden of the Island of Israel", our "doe eyed stag pillar."

As untenable as this sounds, we are expected by the Torah to do it, to find the love apple of our eye, who "brings up our thoughts", a junior who is himself an "upright child who is like a staircase to heaven, a water course that brings healing...to bring out the sap, the Mitz.

The requirements are narrower still- the Mishnah says we must know his species, if he has the sap of an etrog or a lemon,

The Hebrew word for etrog is אֶתְרוֹג, and the plural is etrogim. In Ashkenazi Hebrew, the word is esrog, and the plural is esrogim. 

The etrog is a yellow citron (Citrus medica) that is used by Jews during the holiday of Sukkot. It is one of four species that are held or waved during specific parts of the holiday prayers. The other three species are the lulav, hadass, and aravah. 

The etrog was a prominent ornamental motif for Jews during the Second Temple period. It appears on coins of Simeon and other Hasmoneans, and is often depicted in synagogues and mosaics. 

The Kabbalah means a good taste and a good smell indicates one who has a good understanding of the Torah, is a good person, and does good deeds. As with all fruity references in Torah literature, he must be excellent but not arrogant. One who is arrogant will be incapable of uniting with another person. The tassel will unravel and fall apart.

So the recipe for OI is one eye on the Torah, one eye on the source of the nectar of the sugar honey.

The crime we need to consider is 240, בעם, THEM, AKA balam, LTD., in the nation. "Destroyers of the people coming along beside."

Meaning Swallowing Up The People, Destroyer Of People Etymology. From (1) the verb בלע (bala'), to swallow, and (2) the noun עם ('am), people or kinsman.

We are supposed to marry outsiders and convert them especially if we are royalty, but the other way around is always forbidden. In the case of "partner faiths" like Vedanta and Islam, the path(s) to conversion do not need to be worked out. In relationships like these, called tassels, one partner is the elder, the other the child, and also vice versa.

The Values in Gematria are:

"In Shlomo, in peace and health I am an interpreter. Keep one eye on the Mitzvot." The Number is 8638, האגח, hogach, "the bond".

"The Exodus from Egypt he wrote..." The Number is 8893, חחטג‎ , "A cottage."

The final frame of the Book of Joshua says Shabbat cannot happen without a cottage. The entire story within the Torah is a tale of "there and back again", one that begins with children rebuking their parents, getting rebuked in return, only to become them at the end of a metamorphosis, one if performed according to the stipulations stated in the Torah resembles a happy ending.

There must be no drama, no excitement, not one once of trouble or delusion about the process. This means there must be not one moment lost to parents, children siblings, ex boyfriends or lovers, no annoying girlfriends, no drugs, long trips to the gym, long hours at work, arguments over money, chores, the colors of the curtains or pillow shams, no kids, none of it. The doe and the stag are to leave the forest for a fenced in yard and stay in the house away from all of these things.

Do this and ye shall not mourn.

[chialattea]

OMG thanks for the strawberry tips In your tags! I physically cannot stand eating them once they start getting mushy at all because as a kid I unintentionally ate a rotten one and now anytime I see a bruise I want to vomit lmao. Will be trying this because while I love them so much I'd like to have them in my home longer than a day at a time. 😊🍓💕

HELL YEAH THATS ME YOUR LOCAL FRUIT ENTHUSIAST!!!!!!! It’s always a pleasure Murph🫡🫡🫡

Fun fact!!! Did you know one of the oldest citruses’ most important part is the rind? That’s Citrus medica for you!!! (Citron) the pulp is almost non-existent which pissed me and my friend off when we bought it bc we thought they’d ripped us off but turns out you eat everything else!!! It’s subtly sweet and tbh a bit bland, but it’s much better as a cooking ingredient or used for perfumes bc of its insanely high aromatic %!!

Also I totally get you, I can’t eat plums (unless they’re prunes!!) because I once ate one that’d been sitting in the sun for hours as a kid and the taste+texture was sooooo revolting I was forever traumatized. Also, noodle soup (like, those short noodles specifically, not ramen etc) because I can’t stand the texture ghhhhhh

Alles über Bergamotte: Eine Frucht mit vielseitigem Nutzen

Die faszinierende Herkunft der Bergamotte Die Bergamotte (Citrus bergamia) ist eine Zitrusfrucht, die sich von ihren Verwandten, wie der Zitrone und der Orange, deutlich abhebt. Ihre genaue Herkunft ist bis heute nicht eindeutig geklärt, doch die meisten Experten sind sich einig, dass sie vermutlich aus einer Kreuzung zwischen Zitronatzitrone (Citrus medica) und Bitterorange (Citrus aurantium)…

[heturnedleft]

We have "citron" in English too, but it's a different fruit. If an English-speaker offers you a citron, they mean Citrus medica (which is one of the original wild citrus species), not Citrus x limon like a French-speaker would mean.

The word ‘lemon’ in European languages.
