Hachiya Persimmons (single layer flat) Santa Cruz/Los Gatos/Capitola

Yuzu is a knobby-skinned citrus fruit, with a floral aroma and tangy tart flavor. According to an article in the The New Yorker, "Yuzu is thought to have originated in China, but the fruit is most closely identified with Japan, where it is one of the nation’s essential aromas and flavors. It’s a key ingredient in ponzu sauce, the tangy blend of yuzu juice and soy sauce that often accompanies cold noodles or fried pork cutlets. It also lends zing to highballs, seasons potato chips, and is a favorite flavor for candy." It can also be 'staggeringly expensive' in some areas (like NYC) at $15 to $20 per pound. We are offering it for $20 per five pound bag.

Mariquita Farm "Culinary Herb Collection" includes Sage (8 g bag), Summer Savory (12 g bag) and Greek Laurel. The herbal oils in our herbs are preserved longer by not crushing the herbs prior to package. Crushing or bruising the herbs releases the flavor and aroma in the plant oil and should be done right before use.
