[7] Larger than a mandarin orange but smaller than a grapefruit, yuzu's uneven skin is typically yellow or green, depending on its ripeness.

Umami is hard to describe, but you know it’s there when you taste it. If you have a surplus of yuzu sauce, you can also freeze it for later use. Freezing yuzu sauce can extend its shelf life for up to six months. To freeze, transfer the sauce to a freezer-safe container or a resealable plastic bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing it. Label the container or bag with the date and store it in the freezer. Frozen Zest
