Yuzu (Citrus × junos)

Yuzu is a citrus fruit and plant native to East Asia, belonging to the Rutaceae family. It has been mainly cultivated in East Asia, but has recently begun to be grown in countries such as New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Italy and France. It is also sometimes found under the names Junos, Siebold, Yu.Tanaka.

The fruit resembles a yellow clementine with an uneven surface, it can be yellow or green depending on the degree of ripeness. It is 5.5 to 7.5 cm in diameter, but can be as large as a regular grapefruit (up to 10 cm). Yuzu forms an upright shrub or small tree, often with large thorns. The leaves are distinctive with large, leafy petioles and a strong scent. Yuzu has its origins in central China and the Tibet region. It was introduced to Japan and Korea during the Tang Dynasty and is still cultivated there. It is relatively resistant to frost thanks to its ancestor, the Ichang papeda, and can grow in areas with winters down to -7 °C. An ornamental version of yuzu called hana yuzu (花柚子, "flower yuzu") is also grown in Japan for its flowers. Another variety, yuko, is sweet and almost became extinct in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s.

Although yuzu is rarely eaten as a fruit, it is a common ingredient in Asian cuisine, where the rind and juice are used similarly to lemons in other cuisines. In Korea, yuzu is popular for making yuja-cheong (jam) and yuja-cha (tea).

Yuzu is also known for its characteristic strong smell and the oil from its bark is used as a perfume. In Japan, it is customary to bathe with yuzu during the winter solstice, which is thought to protect against colds and to relax the body and mind.

Storage at + 2 °C - + 6 °C.
