What goes with Yuzu?
Yuzu is an East Asian citrus fruit prized for its exceptionally aromatic peel. It contains high levels of citric acid, vitamin C, limonene, γ-terpinene, yuzuol and numerous volatile aromatic compounds that combine citrus, floral, herbal and resinous notes. Unlike lemon or lime, its value lies primarily in its fragrance rather than its juice yield.
