i frutti della pianta YUZU ( Citrus x junos), agrume orientale aromatico
Lo yuzu (Citrus × junos) è un agrume orientale molto aromatico, originario dell’Asia orientale (Cina, Giappone, Corea), ibido naturale tra un papeda di Ichang e un mandarino acido. [ucanr][citrussaplings] I suoi frutti sono apprezzati soprattutto per la scorza profumata e il succo aspro, più che per la polpa, che è scarsa e poco consumata fresca. [ucanr][plotmygarden] Caratteristiche del frutto Aspetto: frutto tondeggiante, leggermente più piccolo di un’arancia (5–7 cm), con buccia spessa, rugosa e ricca di oli essenziali; colore da verde-giallo a giallo-arancio a maturazione.

Celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth!

Join #UCANR in celebrating the Hispanic and Latino communities whose knowledge, leadership, culture and contributions enrich California, from agriculture and natural resources to the many communities we serve across the state.

A flyer with a yellow patterned background. It reads, "Hispanic Heritage Month: Celebrating Culture, Community, and Contributions." Below, it says, "Ag Producers: By the Numbers." At the bottom right, the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources logo is visible. A person is working in a field. A graphic beside them states, "$404 billion generated annually by California's working landscapes" and "92% of California's agriculture workforce is Latino." The top says "Latinos at the Heart of California Agriculture," and the bottom shows the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources logo. A group of people working in a field with green vegetation, performing agricultural tasks. Overlay text reads: "Latinos Contribute Across Agriculture" and lists roles such as farmworkers, farmers, researchers, scientists, conservationists, educators, and advocates. Additional text states: "Agriculture is an entire ecosystem—and Latino communities are part of every part of it." The logo of the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources is at the bottom. A group of people work in a large agricultural field with mountains in the background. Below, two infographics state: "112,379 producers in the U.S. identified as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish" and "3% of the 3.4 million agricultural producers in the U.S." The logo for University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources is at the bottom.
