Yuzu

This wonderfully aromatic fruit is green in the autumn, turning yellow in the winter. Only the peel is eaten in Japan, where yuzu adds a nuance of flavor to soups, sauces, and salads. Yuzu essence, extracted from pressed peel, can be either a clear, colorless liquid or an opaque, yellowish one. The essence is sometimes sold pre-mixed with vegetable oil to make yuzu abura, a fragrant salad oil. All of these products come bottled and are sold in many Oriental groceries. Refrigerate after opening.
