Marigold Peel Fresh Yuzu Juice review

 

So while I was at a Giant supermarket, I saw a new fruit juice that came out. The Yuzu fruit is from Tibet, China, and was introduced to Japan and Korea, where they cultivated it widely. According to Wikipedia, it is believed to be a hybrid of sour mandarin and Ichang papeda. I've never seen or heard of it before, and I think it looks like a large yellow mandarin orange.

Other than food, Yuzu has also been used as a fragrance, and the Japanese also use it for bathing. So if you don't like the taste, maybe you can put it in your bathtub?

Just kidding!

Anyway, since I've never tried this fruit or juice before, I thought I might as well try something new. You never know unless you try, right? So I bought a small box (luckily they sell a normal-sized version and a small version too!) to drink.

It is very light, and refreshing. It's definitely a refreshing drink for hot Singapore. It has a bit of a sour taste, and if you think the taste is too strong you can dilute it with a bit of water. I personally feel like it's a mix of a lemon and lime, but I have heard some people comment that it tastes like a mixture of lemon and orange.

Would I purchase this again? I have a very sweet tooth so I prefer sweet drinks like apple or grape juice, so I would not buy this again. But if you like lime juice, you should definitely try this out. It's a great thirst-quencher, and the packaging is also very simple and convenient.

I bought mine in Giant, and you can probably find it in most supermarkets in Singapore. Try it out for yourself and let me know how you feel about it!
