Funky lemon (Italian Cedro) in Palermo


I saw this really funky lemon in Palermo, Italy. It looks like a giant yellow brain. When you cut it open, it has larger white parts than those ones in Canada and China. Do they grow different kind of lemon in Italy?

Anyway, my friend peeled it and put sugar on the slices as a refreshing dessert after dinner. Interesting! The white part is eatable, very soft. The center parts suppose to be less sour than a regular lemon, according to my friend. But for me it is the same, still very sour and not very good without sugar.
