The Details
A handful of dehydrated yuzu peel, hand-prepared and slowly dried to hold onto its scent. The peel is where yuzu keeps most of its magic, intensely fragrant, sharp and floral and drying it concentrates that aroma into something a little goes a long way with. One ingredient, nothing added. Store in a cool, dry place and it'll keep for months.
Things to Do
Steep whole in hot water for a fragrant citrus tea, or drop into stocks, curries, stews and soups the way you would a bay leaf, then remove before serving.
Crumble a leaf into a marinade for fish or chicken, or tuck one into a jar of sugar to gently perfume it over time.
Where It Came From
Grown spray-free in our Wairarapa orchard, ripened slowly on the tree and picked by hand. Even the fertilising is natural, our horses graze among the trees.
The Goodness
Like the fruit, yuzu leaves carry a good dose of vitamin C along with natural antibacterial compounds.
In Japan, they've long been steeped into tea as something to reach for when you want to feel a little more looked after, especially through the colder months.
