Everything about The Daidai totally explained
The
daidai (Japanese:, ; Chinese: ; Korean: 광귤,
gwanggyul), is an
Asian variety of
bitter orange. The name
daidai, originally meaning
several generations, originates from the fruit staying on the tree for several years if not picked. The colour of the fruit returns to green in the spring.
The daidai originated in the
Himalayas. It spread to the
Yangtze valley region and later to
Japan.
The native Japanese word for the color orange,
daidai-iro, is derived from the name of this fruit. It is used as a decoration in
Japanese New Year celebrations. A daidai is placed on top of a stack of round
mochi cakes, called
kagami mochi. This use is believed to date from the
Edo period.

The fruit is very bitter, and not usually eaten, but its dried peel is used in
Kampo (the Japanese adaptation of
Chinese medicine), in which it's called
kijitsu . It is used as an
expectorant and a
digestive tonic.
