The yuzu is a citrus fruit and plant. It originated in East Asia. The fruit looks like a rough small and yellow grapefruit, and changes colour from green to yellow when it becomes more ripe.
The yuzu is often used in Japanese and Korean cuisine. It appears much like a lemon but tastes more like a floral lime.
