Yuzu

Subtle alternative for lemons

Yuzu - Product picture

Yuzu is a distinctive citrus fruit with a scent and taste reminiscent of many other citrus fruits, such as lime, lemon, grapefruit and mandarin. In appearance, the yuzu most resembles the latter: the same size as a mandarin, but with an uneven skin that is quite loose.

The peel is part of yuzus' delicacy. It contains plenty of essential oils, which make yuzu ideal for grated use in many dishes. Yuzu is popular because its juice is not as sharp as lemon juice.

Recipes & preparation tips

The yuzu's juice and peel are both equally valuable. As with other citrus fruits, the fruit is easy to juice after halving it horizontally. Yuzu subtly flavours many meat and fish dishes. Its juice is also often used as a basis for a tasty vinaigrette. Just a few drops add a special accent to drinks. The peel is also a popular ingredient. A little grated peel is enough to give dishes a flavour boost.
