Yuzu fruit is back! It is green at the moment, as the season progresses we will have yellow available.
Yuzu is a highly aromatic citrus fruit, delivering a complex blend of mandarin, grapefruit and lemon notes. The wonderfully tart yuzu zest is a staple of Japanese cuisine. As well as desserts, this most popular Japanese citrus fruit is used to flavour ponzu and soy sauce - as well as yuzu tea or alcoholic drinks such as a yuzu sour.

Yuzu combines spectacularly well with cream-based desserts and sorbet, makes wonderful jam, candied or chocolate peel and adds a fantastic burst of powerful citrus to cocktails and sparkling water.
When the fruit is unripe, green and rock-hard, yuzu peel can be grated and used in wonderful garnishes for fish, soups or salad dressings. The fruit is also used to make yuzu kosho: a spicy fermented paste made with yuzu zest, chillies and salt.
