Trunch (T'Orange)

This kind of fruit is the largest lemon-type fruit that Buck Brand grows. It originated in the Near East that now includes the countries of Iraq and Iran. The name in Farsi is "Bollange". The flavour is somewhat like a lemon, but without any bitterness. Its fresh, clean taste is very different. If you rub the skin, you will smell a sweet aroma that is part of the taste. Those of you who like fresh lemons, you will love this fruit!

The rind can be made into a jam, somewhat like marmalade, but with a taste more like that of a sweet perfume.
