Hailing from Japan, this special citrus is a cross between mandarins and oranges, delivering a juicy burst of sunshine that elevates any dish.
This article shares five creative ways to use Sumo Citrus in your kitchen, turning everyday recipes into extraordinary culinary experiences.
Salad twist
Brighten up your salads
Adding chunks of Sumo Citrus to your salads brings a burst of sweetness that perfectly balances the flavors of greens and dressings.
The fruit's juicy texture pairs well with both leafy and grain-based salads.
For a simple upgrade, toss in chunks with spinach leaves, quinoa, sliced almonds, and a vinaigrette dressing for a refreshing contrast of flavors.
Baking bliss
Elevate your baking
Add the zest or juice of Sumo Citrus to your baking recipes for a fragrant twist.
Whether it's muffins, cakes, or cookies, the zest can add a fragrant citrus note that complements the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
Add two tablespoons of Sumo Citrus juice to your batter or dough to infuse your baked goods with a subtle yet distinct citrus flavor.
Glaze magic
Create flavorful glazes and marinades
Sumo Citrus juice makes a fantastic base for glazes and marinades, adding a sweet-tangy twist to your dishes.
Try making a simple glaze by simmering the juice with honey and ginger on low heat until it thickens.
This glaze is delicious on roasted vegetables or use it to marinate tofu before grilling. Yum!
Drink delight
Refreshing beverages
Use Sumo Citrus to make delicious drinks that pop with flavor.
Squeeze the juice into sparkling water with mint leaves for a refreshing spritzer or blend it into smoothies for a natural sweetness that beats any artificial sugar.
And on hot days, freeze the juice in ice cube trays for tasty ice cubes that slowly release flavor into your drinks as they melt.
Sweet surprises
Enhance your desserts
The beauty of Sumo Citrus shines in desserts, too. Use the segments as a topping or mix them into your favorite sweet treats for a burst of freshness.
Try layering segments on top of tarts or folding them into whipped cream for fruit parfaits.
The natural sweetness complements creamy textures perfectly, making Sumo Citrus your secret weapon for adding a refreshing finish to any dessert.
