With so many similarities between yuzu fruit and lemons, it’s no surprise they are very similar when it comes to nutrition. Yuzu is a good source of vitamin C, a water soluble vitamin and antioxidant. Vitamin C can help protect your cells from the damage caused by free radicals, which contribute to oxidative stress and can lead to conditions linked to chronic inflammation. Vitamin C is also needed to produce and use collagen, an important protein for bone health, skin health, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Finally, having vitamin C in a meal can improve the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based iron sources, support a healthy immune system, and maintain better oral health for teeth and gums. Method: First, make pandan syrup. On a stove, heat up sugar and water in a saucepan. Once sugar is dissolved and right before simmering, add pandan leaf and remove from heat.

Now that you’re up-to-date on yuzu nutrition and some of the emerging science, let’s get into the culinary uses! Where to Buy Yuzu Fruit and Yuzu JuiceThe flavor is unique (more on that below!) and yuzu shows up in a variety of culinary uses. But beyond that, it’s also sought after for its aromatic properties. There’s evena Japanese tradition of bathing with yuzu fruit during the winter solstice ( yuzuyu). A yuzu bath isbelieved to soothe dry skin and guard against seasonal colds. This unique flavor has been celebrated in Korean and Japanese cuisine for centuries. In Korean cuisine, it’s also called “ yuja” and used for hot or coldyuzutea (“ yuja-cha“) but there are subtle differences in taste and aroma depending on where the fruit is grown. What Pairs Well With Yuzu? But one of the most interesting findings was that the supplemented rats retained more lean tissue and showed improvements in insulin sensitivity. This could be an important finding since dementia patients often struggle with appetite and maintaining their body weight. While it’s too soon to tell if a yuzu extract supplement could prevent unintentional weight loss, it appears there is a potential link there (at least for the types of rats used in this study).
You can leave whole yuzu fruits on the kitchen counter at room temperature, but if you don't plan on using them right away, refrigeration helps them last longer. While they stay fresh in the frig for a few weeks, yuzu may lose their powerful aroma after a few days. Yuzu plays such a pivotal role in Japanese cuisine and now, in recent times, it has become an integral ingredient in so many other cuisines and cultures," explains Min Kim, executive chef at Wynn Las Vegas' Mizumi. "It has such a significant value in our culture, not only as a cooking ingredient, but as something that is so fundamental in our daily lives."The juice is very good, but it's the zest that's really special," Kreuther says. "The elegance of it is really cool, and the length on your palate is surprising. It's not sour like a regular lemon… it's like a mix of three or four different citrus fruits—lemon, lime, mandarin, and grapefruit in one! I use it in my kitchen to finish dishes, as opposed to heating it, to give it justice." Pair With Protein In Japan, yuzu is used for so much more than just cooking." Kim continues. "We use it to make tea, medicine, fragrances, bath products, candles, and more." What Yuzu Tastes Like Take three of the avocados, remove the stones in the middle, and separate the avocado from its skin using a large spoon. Place the flesh in food processor and blend it into a purée with the yuzu juice and the juice of one lime. Season with salt. Shige Kabashima, owner and bar director of NR, a New York City bar, agrees. "Yuzu tastes like lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin orange and is very aromatic," he says. The only real downside with yuzu is that it can be quite difficult to buy the fresh fruit in the United States. That’s because we actually have a ban on the import of citrus fruit and citrus trees. This helps contain disease and invasive species, which is a very good thing! But unfortunately it makes it almost impossible to find yuzu fruit in most regions.

Yuzu-Shio Daiquiri Jordis Unga Introduced to Japan more than 1,000 years ago, yuzu fruit tastes like a cross between an orange, a grapefruit, and a lemon and is so bitter that it is not eaten alone. It finds many uses in Japanese cuisine, however. It is a traditional accompaniment for wild mushrooms, whose harvest season in late September and early October overlaps with yuzu’s. Yuzu is mainly used in Japan for its uniquely fragrant peel, which is added at the last minute to soups, salads, and simmered dishes and releases its aroma on gentle heating. Sweet white miso flavoured with yuzu is a popular dressing for aemono, while the dipping sauce ponzu is made with the juice of either yuzu or the sour green citrus fruits sudachi ( Citrus sudachi) and kabosu ( Citrus sphaerocarpa). Koreans make a sweet yuzu marmalade that is diluted with hot water to create an aromatic tea laden with vitamin C.
