(Pronounced KUHM-kwaht)
Hardly bigger than a large olive, the Kumquat looks like a tiny and somewhat-round orange. A native of China, but also grown in Japan and the United States, the Kumquat is a citrus fruit that is entirely edible. The orange skin of the Kumquat is juicy and sweet, while its flesh remains dry and slightly tart. Although the Kumquat can be served fresh and mixed in salads, it is more commonly cooked and used in syrups and preserves.
Seasonality: Available December - June.
Selection & Storage: When selecting Melissa’s Kumquats, look for firm, freshly scented fruit, free of blemishes. Avoid those with green skins. Refrigerate whole in a plastic bag for up to one month. Freezing is not recommended.
