Jabara (Citrus × jabara) is a hybrid species of plant and fruit that is among the Japanese citrus.

Jabara is a fruit similar to the yuzu, deriving from a cross of the yuzu with a pomelo-hybridized mandarin (Citrus nobilis, but distinct from King),[1] that arose naturally in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.

Other uses

  • An extract made from the pericarp of the Jabara has been used in cosmetics.[2]
  • Narirutin, a flavanoid compound found predominantly in the peels of Jabara, has been researched for its potential effects in alleviating allergy symptoms associated with rhinoconjuctivitis.[3]
