Yuzu fruit is a type of citrus fruit primarily found in East Asia.
In addition to being nutrient dense, yuzu may promote blood flow and brain function.
The fruit has been very popular in Japanese culture for decades. However, yuzu-based products are starting to see traction outside of Japan.
For example, a brand of yuzu paste generates around $5.6K/month on Amazon.
