riginally cultivated in mainland East Asia, but now more typically associated with Japanese cuisine, specifically, a yuzu is a refreshingly aromatic citrus with a flavor somewhere between a grapefruit and a Mandarin orange. It’s often paired with sweeter, spicier, and earthier flavors, and makes a particularly great pairing with honey, chile peppers, and green tea. In fact, that last combo is what inspired our uniquely delicious, summer-seasonal, Trader Joe’s Green Tea & Yuzu Spread. It’s crafted for us in small batches by a supplier in Belgium, who’s particularly adept at combining complementary ingredients to create uniquely rich flavor profiles. In this case, they mix Green Tea that’s been infused with lemongrass, ginger, and orange peel, along with apple and lemon juice concentrates and tantalizingly tart Yuzu juice, resulting in a sweet, citric, marvelously multi-dimensional Spread. Aside from making an excellent jelly for your morning toast or muffin, it also provides a pronounced pop of flavor when spread on sandwiches, over roast chicken and fish, or mixed into marinades. And when you’ve got friends over for a charcuterie board or cheese plate, trust us: adding a bit of Green Tea & Yuzu Spread will make those savory flavors truly sing.
