Frequently Asked Questions
What is Yuzu Citrus Sugar?
It is granulated sugar blended with yuzu flavor, usually from fresh yuzu zest or dried yuzu powder. The mix adds a bright, floral citrus note to fruit and other dishes.
How much should I sprinkle on fruit?
Start with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per small serving or 1 teaspoon for a whole piece of fruit like a mango. Add more to taste but go light so the fruit still shines.
Can I make Yuzu Citrus Sugar at home?
Yes. Mix 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons finely grated yuzu zest or 1 to 2 teaspoons yuzu powder. Spread to dry for an hour, then store in an airtight jar.
Which fruits pair best with yuzu sugar?
Tropical and bright fruits work best. Try mango, papaya, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, peaches, and nectarines. Use ripe fruit for the best balance of sweet and tart.
Is yuzu sugar suitable for special diets?
The basic mix contains sugar, so it is not low sugar. You can substitute granulated erythritol or monk fruit granules for a low sugar option. Check labels if you need gluten free or vegan certified products. Avoid if you have a citrus allergy.
How should I store yuzu sugar and how long does it last?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If you used fresh zest, use within 2 to 4 weeks. If you used dried yuzu powder, it can last up to about 6 months.
Can I use yuzu sugar on things besides fresh fruit?
Yes. Sprinkle it over yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, cocktails, grilled fruit, or finish baked goods after baking. Add it just before serving to keep the texture crisp.
