Yuzu

Yuzu is a fragrant, tart East Asian citrus fruit, a hybrid of mandarin and ichang papeda, prized for its unique flavor that blends lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin notes, used extensively in Japanese cuisine for its aromatic zest and juice in teas, sauces, and baths, and known for being rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.

• Floating yuzu in hot bathwater (Yuzuyu) on the winter solstice is a Japanese tradition to ward off colds and promote relaxation, notes.
