class of fruits
'''Citrus''' is a classification of [[fruit]]s which encompasses many tropical and temperate varieties. These usually are sour and [[acid]]ic as a result of their high [[vitamin C]] content, but some are surprisingly sweet.
Examples of citrus include:
* [[bergamot]]s
* [[blood orange]]s
* [[citron]]s
* [[clementine]]s
* [[grapefruit]]
* [[kumquat]]s
* [[lemon]]s
* [[lime]]s
* [[limon]]s
* [[mandarin]]s
* [[orange]]s
* [[papaya]]s
* [[pummelo]]s
* [[star fruit]]
* [[tangelo]]s
* [[tangerine]]s
The exterior rind is called the [[zest]], the interior rind is called the [[bitter]], the flesh is called the [[pulp]], and the liquid is called the [[juice]]. Varieties of citrus are naturally found on every continent except [[Africa]], [[Antarctica]], and [[Australia]]. In the United States, the state which produces the most citrus is [[California]] and citrus orcharding is a full 7% of that state's [[gross domestic product]].
