Yuzu ichandrin (Citrus junos Tanaka) ripening as fall winds down. They are traditionally added to the bath on the winter solstice in Japan. Yuzu is a supposed hybrid of satsuma mandarin and ichang papeda, a cold hardy citrus from China. They aren’t very juicy, but the thick rind is amazingly aromatic and flavorful. Oil from the peel contains limonene (~80% of volatile components) as well as moderate amounts of pinene, myrcene, terpinene, and a host of other aromatic chemicals. To me, it smells like floral lemon with a gasoline base 🌺🍋⛽️😋 the tree came from @onegreenworld and thrives outdoors here in Portland. #yuzu #coldhardycitrus #citrusjunos #citrusjunostanaka #yuzuichandrin #japanesecitron #onegreenworld #urbangardening #oregon #growyourown #aromatherapy #yuzuyu
