Yuzu is a citrus from East Asia, mainly cultivated in Japan, China and Korea. This yellow or green fruit, the size of a small orange, is appreciated for its intense aroma and tangy taste, recalling a mixture between lemon, tangerine and grapefruit. Its thick and irregular skin is rich in essential oils, making it a flagship ingredient in cooking and perfumery. In gastronomy, it is used in the form of juice, zest or jam to flavor sauces, desserts and drinks. Yuzu is also renowned for its antioxidant properties and its richness in vitamin C.
