The Japanese citrus Sudachi is small and juicy and used to flavor soups, fish dishes and matsutake mushrooms.
Keiko and Frank Wells of Westfield Farm are best known for their avocados, which Keiko, with a gentle smile, carefully classifies by ripeness at the Beverly Hills farmers market. For a few months in late summer and in fall, however, they also sell sudachi , a lime-like Japanese citrus related to yuzu, but smaller, juicier, less seedy and slightly more acidic. With a distinctive spicy aroma evoking lime, pepper, dill and cumin, it is used to flavor soups, fish dishes and matsutake mushrooms. Unlike yuzu, the juice, rather than the rind, is most prized.
