Kumquats are small, oval-shaped citrus fruits that resemble miniature oranges. They have a thin, sweet skin that can be eaten along with the tart flesh inside. Kumquats are typically eaten whole, including the peel, which provides a unique contrast of flavors. These fruits are known for their bright, tangy taste and are often used in culinary dishes, desserts, and beverages to add a burst of citrus flavor. Kumquats are also rich in vitamin C and fiber, making them a healthy and refreshing snack option.
