Origins
A little more detailed information about the yuzu fruit will certainly come in handy. Especially as this citrus fruit is not well known in Europe. Unlike in China, Japan and Korea, where it is often used in gastronomy. Yuzu (Citrus junos) is a small shrub or tree covered with large thorns. Botanists classify it in the family Rutaceae. This includes, for example, citrus, kumquat, rue and burning bush. The fruit of the yuzu is a fruit similar in appearance to a small grapefruit, with a wrinkled surface of yellow or green color and a rather dry flesh full of pits. The fruit itself is very sour and is not often used for direct consumption (also because of the stones). However, it is popular in Japanese, Chinese or Korean cuisine.
The yuzu tree is slow growing. It takes a full 10 years from planting to the first harvest. On the other hand, it thrives quite well in cold regions where more sensitive citrus trees would not be able to grow.
Yuzu is characterized by its strong aroma and sour taste. In Japan, this fruit is part of a ritual associated with the winter solstice, when several fruits are placed in a hot bath to release a beautiful scent. The bath is said to protect against colds, warm the body and relax the mind. The peel can be used to make oil, and the fruit is processed into sauces, vinegars, syrups and marmalades. Yuzu teas are very popular.
Yuzu did not come to wider public attention until the early 21st century, when American chefs took an interest in it and began promoting it in their recipes. Similarly, it is gradually appearing in cosmetics and medicine. Yuzu contains significant amounts of vitamin C, is rich in antioxidants and the flavone compounds hesperidin and naringenin with many health benefits.
