Kumquat

The flesh offers a bold and juicy tart contrast, making for a sweet tart mouthful

Kumquats are tiny oblong shaped citrus fruits with a rather thick skin, considering how small the they are. They have a bit of sweetness to them, but the flavor is overwhelmingly sour. They are great when used for marmalade, lots of citrus dishes, and even liqueurs and cocktails

Nutritional Value

They're high in vitamins C (about 8 mg each) and offer some vitamin A (about 3 mcg each). The skin is full of fiber and antioxidants (substances that can protect your cells). Kumquats are also cholesterol-free and low in fat and sodium.
