“How will you yuzu?”
Yuzu, the small Japanese citrus fruit with big appeal.
The Yuzu [pronounced: yoo-zoo] is a small Japanese citrus fruit that resembles 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?
Here is where traditional Japanese cuisine comes in! The Yuzu is a commonly used fruit in Japan. They are very aromatic with a deep “citrusy” floral scent. The juice flavor is like a tart, citrus, “fusion” of lemon and lime. The fragrant peel is often minced small and added as a garnish to both soup or broiled or simmered fish. Sauces are often made from yuzu, as well as candied peel from the rind. You might recognize a “hint” of its flavor here in America from your favorite Japanese restaurant, if you have ever used soy-sauce ponzu. Now you can find yuzu being used many different culinary ways, including yuzu “essence” being infused into “high end” vodka. So, “how will you yuzu?” With a little bit of cooking skill, a little imagination and some yuzus from Pearson Ranch…the culinary sky is the limit.
Did you know?... The Yuzu comes to us from East Asia, and is believed to be a hybrid of sour mandarin and a slow-growing species of citrus called; Ichang papeda.

Farinaz A. Yuzu is just one of the most amazing citrus ever. Every single green Yuzu that I received was in perfect shape. and I made delicious jam/marmalade. Yuzu has lots and lots of pits. I used one third of the pits for pectin in my Yuzu jam and I froze the other two third for other jams. I will be buying more when Pearson Ranch has yellow yuzu. Still growing!

Charles C. The yuzu I ordered was out of stock. I was notified by phone and provided alternative options for a lesser grade. The difference in price was refunded right away and I receive the order in two days. The yuzu I received was better than what I would get in the store. I can’t say enough good things about Pearson Ranch. I highly recommend them to others. I’ll certainly be a return customer!
Hi Charles, thank you so much for your fantastic 5 star review of the the Yuzu! Thank you so much for working with us to help get you yuzus, even though they were 'choice' grade. Even better, we are happy that you liked them so well and better than what you could get in the store. Thank you for recommending Pearson Ranch to others!

Simon Yuzu package arrived promptly and in good condition. Fruit was in great condition. Ripening earlier than Seville oranges and with high pectin levels, yuzu makes an excellent marmalade, just in time for Thanksgiving and early holiday gifts. Highly recommend.
Greetings Simon, WOW, thank you so much for the great review of the Yuzu! Yuzu is certainly an interesting citrus to use in different and creative ways. We are happy that you finding ways to enjoy them both for yourself and as gifts. Great idea. Cheers!

Chase Loved the yuzu. Made them into yuzu bars. Such a powerful explosion of flavor.

Angela I would order from them again. But I worry that with the draughts and fires and just overall change in environments, the yuzu was not at all like it was two seasons ago. It was fragrant; I smelled it through the box. And they were beautiful. But they started to brown almost immediately and when I went to juice them they were mushy. I got almost no juice from 5lbs and am really sad. I made an oleo saccharum and it honestly just smelled of oranges, and had none of its usual yuzu fragrance. With another batch of peels, I'm going to make a cello and I hope I capture some of the fragrance of yuzu. The shipment was prompt and well packaged. I hope this was just an off season.
