Yuzu powder comes from a Japanese citrus fruit, commonly likened to a wild mandarin orange crossed with a lemon. The Yuzu powder has perfumed, lime blossom aromas, with a bitter pithiness from the skin.
Typically Yuzu powder is produced from freeze-dried Yuzu Juice which is then blended with a dextrin to avoid oxidation or deterioration.
Yuzu powder is used in various different food products, but finds its main use in the confectionery, desserts, and bakery industries.
