But I would pick the yuzu for hanging around the house and smelling the fragrance from the pith.

So it seems it's best to get them more waxy skin than crinkly.Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-15149527217002110102008-12-21T18:00:00.000-08:002008-12-21T18:00:00.000-08:00The yuzu looks kinda dry from the pic but does it ...The yuzu looks kinda dry from the pic but does it really got a lot of juice?

So you could sell them and make a pretty penny, especially to restaurants who seem to love using it fresh in menus. I find that when the skin gets dark yellow, the juice has dried out a bit inside. So I would pick them when they look plump and yellow instead of crinkly and dark yellow.Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-13947424988065812792008-12-20T10:17:00.000-08:002008-12-20T10:17:00.000-08:00Chef Ben!

This looks exactly like the fruit we have growing on a "mystery tree" that was supposed to have been a tangerine, but clearly isn't. I've been letting the fruit hang on as long as possible in hopes it will sweeten as it tree-ripens, but that's sure not happening fast. Now you've got me wondering whether we should demand our money back, or thank the garden center for providing such an exotic substitution!Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716839866042506364noreply@blogger.com
