Loquats are small, round or pear-shaped fruits with a smooth, orange-yellow skin. They have a sweet and slightly tangy flavor, similar to a combination of peach and apricot. The flesh is juicy and can range from pale yellow to orange in color, with one to five large brown seeds in the center. Loquats are often enjoyed fresh, but can also be used in jams, jellies, desserts, and savory dishes. They are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as fiber, making them a nutritious and delicious addition to your diet.
