| Araza | Yuzu | Zucchini (botanical fruit) |
A bright yellow, intensely tart Amazonian fruit too acidic to eat fresh — instead processed into juice, ice cream, and the famous Peruvian araza-pisco cocktail.
A small bumpy yellow Japanese citrus that's all aroma and almost no juice — used for zest and a few drops of intensely fragrant juice, central to Japanese cuisine and increasingly to Western cocktails.
