Yuzu is a citrus fruit native to East Asia, primarily cultivated in Japan, China, and Korea. This yellow or green fruit, about the size of a small orange, is prized for its intense aroma and tangy flavor, reminiscent of a blend of lemon, mandarin, and grapefruit. Its thick, uneven peel is rich in essential oils, making it a key ingredient in cooking and perfumery. In gastronomy, it is used as juice, zest, or jam to flavor sauces, desserts, and beverages. Yuzu is also renowned for its antioxidant properties and high vitamin C content.
