Hesperidium is a specialised berry with tough, leathery aromatic rind that surround the pulp. The pulp is juicy and rich in vitamin C. Most hesperidium fruits are first peeled before eaten out of the hands or squeezed to make the juice. Their outer tough aromatic skin provide the source of essential oil via cold compression. The most common example is orange essential oil from the peel of the oranges.
