Citrus fruits have been known since ancient times. The deep green trees with their golden, aromatic, flavorful fruits were impressive; their fruits held a special place in mythology, as well as in everyday life and rituals.

They are primarily cultivated in the temperate zones of the northern and southern hemispheres, as they are sensitive to high and low temperatures. Today, in many countries, the cultivation of citrus fruits has particular economic significance.

Their fruits are consumed fresh, as well as processed into sweets, jams, juices, and alcoholic beverages.
