Citrus platymamma
Byeonggyul (Citrus platymamma) is a citrus tree from Jeju Island in Korea, grown for its fragrant yellow fruit and peel. It is more cold- and disease-resistant than most citrus, so it is one of the hardier citrus choices.
Byeonggyul (병귤; [pʲʌŋ.ɡʲul]) in standard Korean and benjul (벤줄; [pen.dʑul]) in Jeju, Citrus platymamma, is a Korean citrus fruit native to Jeju Island.
The flesh can be eaten raw, and the peel can be used fresh or dried, whole or zested. Fresh zest of a byeonggyul is used for tteok (rice cakes) and other Korean food as a spice or garnish, while dried peel is usually used for making tea. Byeonggyul tea was used as a home remedy to treat respiratory ailments, loss of appetite or minor digestive problems.
