The Yuzu is a unique and highly aromatic citrus variety that has been treasured in East Asian cuisine for centuries. Believed to have originated in China, this distinctive fruit is a hybrid between a Mandarin Orange and the Ichang Papeda. While it is not typically eaten fresh due to its tart flavor, its fragrant juice and zest are prized for adding bright citrus flavor to sauces, marinades, seafood, desserts, beverages, and countless Japanese dishes. The fruit resembles a small grapefruit with bumpy yellow skin and offers a complex flavor that combines the tartness of grapefruit, the fragrance of lemon, and subtle mandarin sweetness. In addition to its culinary value, the Yuzu tree is known for its excellent cold hardiness, making it one of the best citrus varieties for gardeners in cooler growing regions.
