It is the winter and the peak of citrus fruits or citrus fruits. However, we will soon find mandarin (Citrus Reticulata), lemon (Citrus x limon), lime (Citrus x aurantifolia), orange (Citrus x sinensis), arabic (Citrus x paradisi), kumkuata (Citrus japonica), etc. They all belong to the genus Citrus. This genus of plants has spread throughout the tropical territories of South Asia to countries around the world with a similar environment.

All acids appear to come from three main species. They themselves have an extraordinary facility to confuse and produce hybrids, as well as for spontaneous mutations such as natural clones to appear. So the genealogy of citrus fruit is very confusing and complicated. No wonder when you think there is a new fruit in different shapes or colors or smells or sizes. Similarly, bitter people have become important to our food. Throughout history, agriculture has been developed and strengthened, and the tendency to develop acids has become naturalized. The variety of fruits, both in tastes and in perfumes and textures, has favored domestication, which together with the ease of conservation and transport of the thick bark of the fruit, is the basis of its success. The whole of South Asia and the surrounding territories of the Mediterranean are the main acid producers. They are known for their acidity or acidity and vitamin C. When the Basques took the cider to the sea, other cultures carried rabias to deal with scurvy. The English seamen who were going to make long journeys were given a lemon so that they would not fall into evil. From there they were despectively called “limey”. Since then, in America, every English is called that.

Winter is usually the best time of bitterness in our land. In the coldest and darkest time. It is the time when fire is turned on to meet the needs of light and heat. And there's nothing like the skin of the bitterness to ignite fire. Anyone who has bleached a tie with their fingers knows the fingerprint of a kind of viscosity left by that skin. This Lika is a limonene. It's in the oil of your skin and it's the one that gives you that special smell. Have you ever tried to twist the skin and bring it up to the fire? It makes a good fire party. I learned in Burunda from the hand of Maria Otxoa from Errarte Gabirondo, from Iturmendi. The skins of the boilers were always dried by fire. The next day, the limonene of the dried skin on the fire will cause the wood to burn at a rate of much. Spicy to clear and warm up the winter.
