Yuzu (Citrus × junos, from Japanese 柚子 or ユズ; /ˈjuːzuː/ ) is a citrus fruit and plant in the family Rutaceae of Chinese origin.[1][2] Yuzu has been cultivated mainly in East Asia, though it has also recently been grown in New Zealand, Australia, Spain, Italy, and France.[3]
It is believed to have originated in central China as an F1 hybrid of the mangshanyeju (Chinese: 莽山野橘) subspecies of mandarin orange and the ichang papeda.[1][2]
