What is Yuzu?

Yuzu is a citrus fruit scientifically known as Citrus Junos and is commonly cultivated in Japan and Korea. This fruit is typically yellow or green and has rough, uneven skin, similar to a grapefruit. Not only does this fruit look like a grapefruit, but it also has a similarly tart taste. These fruits grow on overgrown shrubs or small trees, depending on the cultivar of yuzu. 

The aroma and taste of this exotic fruit are very strong and pungent, part of the reason why the food is rarely eaten raw. However, the rind and juice of this fruit are very popular for a number of culinary applications, including as a zest or ingredient in cocktails.  In some cultures, the essential oil of this fruit is good for improving skin health.

Yuzu Nutrition

In terms of nutrition, yuzu is a rich source of vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and copper. A 100-gram serving of this fruit has just over 20 calories, making it popular for those trying to lose weight. In addition, some of the active ingredients in this fruit, including yuzunone, have a number of  potential antioxidant effects on the body. 

Yuzu vs Lemon

– Yuzu is more acidic than lemons and is thus rarely eaten as a fruit

– Lemons are slightly less acidic than this exotic fruit, but not enough to make a major difference

– The rind of both these fruits can be used for zest in certain cocktails.
