Yuzu CHOICE Grade - 1 Pound (2-5 ct.)

Choice Grade Yuzu

 Same great Yuzu flavor just with blemishes

You already know that you love the aroma and flavor of Yuzu citrus [pronounced: yoo-zoo]. And since this small citrus fruit's "magic" isn't what the fruit looks like, now is you chance to get "Choice Grade" or blemished/scarred fruit at a discount price that makes getting yuzu even more of a pleasure.  But in case you aren't familiar with yuzu, they resemble the outward appearance of a tangerine in both size and shape; however that is where the similarities abruptly end. The yuzu is yellow in appearance, with many large seeds and a small quantity of bitter or sour juice. In fact, some yuzus lack juice entirely and are instead filled with a mass of just pith and seeds!

So what the “heck” do you do with Yuzus if you can’t eat them?
You can distill alcohol with Yuzu, make candied peel with the rind and of course you can use them as they traditionally use them in Japanese cuisine.  

When are Yuzus available? "Choice Grade" Yuzu are now available! However, be aware that the yuzu season can vary from year to year and quantities are quite limited and supplies can end without notice,  so please be sure to check for availability.

This item is for 1 pound of "Choice Grade" Yuzu Citrus (2-5 pieces)
