The Etrog Citron is more than a fruit — it’s a living symbol of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. Whether you’re a gardener, collector, or cultural enthusiast, growing this sacred citrus from seed offers a rare and rewarding experience.
✨ Bring ancient tradition to your home garden with these authentic Etrog Citron Seeds!
Grow your own piece of history with Etrog Citron Seeds (Citrus medica) — one of the oldest and most sacred citrus fruits in the world. Known for its thick, aromatic rind and spiritual symbolism, the Etrog citron is celebrated for its fragrance, beauty, and cultural heritage.
Etrog citrons are large, oval-to-oblong fruits (10–15 cm long) with a distinctive bumpy rind that releases an elegant scent reminiscent of lemon and violets. Their unique form, featuring a tapered tip and a preserved “pitam” (flower remnant), makes them instantly recognizable and especially valued for religious use.
Beneath the vibrant yellow skin lies a thick, sweet, slightly bitter pith — mild in flavor, floral, and subtly citrusy. While the fruit contains minimal pulp, it’s widely appreciated for its fragrant peel, often used in culinary and traditional applications.
🍋 Rare & Sacred Variety – Cultivated since biblical times, Etrog is a central element in Jewish rituals, especially during Sukkot.
🌿 Fragrant & Decorative – The rind emits a floral-citrus aroma ideal for home fragrance or culinary use.
🧬 Pure Lineage – Grown from ungrafted trees to preserve its authentic heritage and religious purity.
🌞 Seasonal Availability – Harvested mainly from fall to winter.
🌱 Rich in Nutrients – High in vitamin C, fiber, and potassium, supporting immunity and vitality.
Etrog citrons are treasured for their rind and pith, perfect for:
🍰 Baking: Cakes, cookies, and sweet breads.
🍬 Candying: Boil and sugar the peel for aromatic treats.
🍸 Infusions: Create Etrog liqueur, vodka infusions, or citrus syrups.
🍊 Preserves: Excellent for marmalade, jellies, or jam.
Tip: Slice off the ends, remove the seeds, and gently boil the rind to reduce bitterness before use.
Etrog is one of the “Four Species” (Arba Minim) used during the Jewish festival of Sukkot — symbolizing unity, purity, and gratitude.
During the prayer ritual, worshippers hold the Etrog together with willow, myrtle, and palm branches, waving them in all directions to honor creation and divine harmony.
Only perfect, ungrafted, unblemished fruits with intact pitam are suitable for ritual use. The most pristine specimens are often kept in decorative silver boxes and can be valued at over $100 per fruit.
Originally from India, Etrog was later introduced to Israel and the Mediterranean. It’s believed to be the first cultivated citrus fruit, symbolizing longevity and holiness. Ancient discoveries of Etrog seeds and depictions have been found in Jerusalem, Egyptian tombs, and Roman coins.
