Plant of the Month: Sudachi

Sudachi is a Japanese citrus which is used like Lemons and Limes. Sudachi features a mild and refreshing flavor, and is an ingredient for Ponzu (a soy-based dressing which is gaining in popularity in the States).

 

Besides the wonderful flavor, Sudachi's main attribute is its fruiting season, which falls into the months when Lemons and Limes are either too young or too old.

 

Add Sudachi to:

  • Salad Dressing
  • Cold Drinks (soft and hard)
  • Marinade

Specialty Citrus

Sweet and Sour Citrus

Sweet citrus, like Oranges, Sweet Limes, and Tangerines, produce fruit once a year for up to six months. So pick out three or four sweet citrus varieties and enjoy them year-round. Plus, the fragrance of their flowers is a real bonus!

Sour citrus, like Lemons and Limes, set fruits two times a year. For this reason, they are called everbearing.

 

Our Specialty Citrus includes:*

'Australian Finger Lime' - use as garnish

'Kaffir Lime' - use for Thai cooking

'Sudachi' - use for Japanese cooking

'Yuzu' - use for Japanese cooking

*Note: These varieties are hard to find; we sometimes have them.
