The Yuzu (Citrus ichangensis X C. reticulata var. austera) is an “Ichandarin”: a natural hybrid between Ichang papeda and a Chinese mandarin. It produces acid fruits (4.5% acid) and very aromatic, whose flavor and appearance reminds of a fusion of grapefruit, lime, tangerine and mango.
It is considered an essential ingredient in Asian, Japanese and Korean cuisine. It is part of Ponzu sauce and condiments such as Yuzukosho (yuzu and pepper), yuzu vinegar, liqueurs, soup, fish, sweets, infusions, jams, beers, tonic waters, gins, and has countless other uses such as cosmetics. and aromatherapy.
It gives both meat and fish an acid point of citrus, and sweeter aromas reminiscent of mango or common tangerine.

Its cultivation is very complex, since the branches contain large and sharp spikes and vertical growth, reaching up to 5 meters in height. Since it is sown, it does not produce the first fruits until after 15 years.
