As the wind gets colder, the number of suspected influenza (flu), a representative respiratory viral disease in winter, is also on the rise.

It is a desperate time for a cup of warm tea to soothe and warm up the sore throat.

In particular, citron tea, the representative fruit tea in winter, is drawing attention. It is used in tea, beverages, traditional liquor, and high balls to raise awareness among people in their 20s and 30s, and is also gaining popularity overseas. In line with this, various products using citron are on the market.




Dongseo Food recently introduced 'Dongseo Hearts Yuja Hojicha' where you can feel the refreshing flavor by adding citron granules to soft Hodge tea. Lotte Well Food partnered with Namhae-gun last spring to introduce the 「Namhae Yuja Pepero」, and in September, the sugar-free and sugar-free dessert"ZERO" launched a new product 'Zero Citrus Yuja Jelly" with the freshness and sweetness of citron. The Seoul general, who signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Goheung-gun, launched Flavor Makgeolli 'Moonlight Yuja' and held an event to sell 'My Yuja Tree'.

Analysts say that in addition to the attractive sweetness of citron, it is also healthy and useful.

Yuzu is rich in vitamins C and A, citric acid, and inorganic chambers.




Yuja's vitamin C is three times that of lemons, which is known to be good for the bronchial system and has the effect of preventing colds. It is good for whitening the skin and helps relieve hangovers. Antioxidant ingredients such as polyphenols and flavonoids in citrus shells are also good for fatigue recovery. Citrus contains not only beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A, but also folate and vitamin E. The limonene component that gives citron a bitter taste also helps relieve cough, and the naringen component of citron is known to be effective in protecting the brain and preventing memory loss.

However, you should refrain from drinking too much a day. According to the National Institute of Agricultural Science of the Rural Development Administration, citron is a cold fruit, so be careful because it can cause diarrhea or indigestion if people with cold bodies eat a lot. In addition, in the case of citron syrup, it is recommended to control your intake if you are managing your blood sugar or have diabetes because it contains a lot of sugar.
