Yuzu: A New Fruit on the Block
Recently, I have been seeing these Yuzu fruits everywhere. Once upon a time, these citrus fruits were only available in Japan but in 2006, farmers in the US started to grow them also. This Japanese grapefruit is a hybrid of grapefruit and mandarin oranges. It’s very juicy and not nearly as tart as grapefruit. In fact, I would even go as far as to say it’s sweet. It’s also extremely fragrant. It taste very similar to a pomelo except it’s about the size of an orange making it perfect for one serving. It’s probably $59 at Wholefoods but you can also find it at Chinese markets for about $.50 each. Plus it’s a great 3pm snack.
