Yuzu, a citrus fruit originating from East Asia, is prized for its tangy flavor and fragrant aroma, often described as a blend of lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Commonly used in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine, yuzu adds a zesty punch to sauces, dressings, marinades, and desserts. It's particularly rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids, which support immune health and may help reduce inflammation. Yuzu is also low in calories, making it a healthy addition to meals. However, its intense flavor means it's rarely consumed whole; instead, the juice and zest are its most common uses. Beyond its nutritional benefits, yuzu is known for its fragrant essential oils, often used in aromatherapy for relaxation. While it's generally healthy, processed yuzu products, such as syrups and candies, may be high in sugar, so moderation is key. A vibrant ingredient, yuzu is both delicious and nutrient-packed!
