Believe it or not, I do think that Yuzu is going to be next big fruit to look out for, if it already isn’t. Celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver are using them; and we see yuzu being incorporated in drinks, dressings, jams and desserts. Yuzu cake and yuzu drinks anyone?
Refreshing, alluring, zesty – this is how I would describe the taste.
Many of my friends are fans of the MARIGOLD PEEL FRESH Select Yuzu drink. My personal best way to have it, especially in this hot staggering weather, is to have a glass ICED COLD.
I don’t know about you, but this drink somehow has a calming effect. (Should be because the Japanese use yuzu fruits in baths.)
Yuzus are traditionally used in Japanese baths for its beauty and medicinal effects.

10 Things You May Not Know About Yuzu
– Yuzu contains 3 times more Vitamin C than a lemon.
– Just 100g of Yuzu has 150mg of Vitamin C.
– So one glass of 250ml MARIGOLD PEEL FRESH Select Yuzu can provide 100% of the daily requirement of Vitamin C.
– Yuzu also contains Vitamin P which helps Vitamin C absorption and promote healthy blood flow.
– Yuzu has been produced in Kochi Prefecture, Japan for more than 1300 years. That is 13 centuries if you think about it.
– The Kochi Prefecture alone accounts for 50% of yuzu production as the climate is favourable for yuzu production – warm in the day and chilly at night.
Favourable climate condition and fertile soil give the most fragrant yuzus!
