About YUZU
Yuzu is a citrus fruit commonly found in East Asia, particularly in Japan, Korea, and China. It resembles a small grapefruit with a rough, yellow to green rind. While yuzu is used extensively in culinary applications for its tart flavor, it is important to note that citrus fruits, including yuzu, contain essential oils and compounds such as psoralens that can be toxic to pets. For cats and dogs, ingestion of yuzu can lead to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and depression due to its acidic nature and the presence of these toxic compounds. It is advisable to keep yuzu and related citrus products out of reach of pets to ensure their safety.
