KUMQUATS
Kumquats are in the citrus family, though not in the Citrus genus which
includes lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit. Kumquats look like miniature
oranges with the size similar to a small cherry tomato.
Kumquats are eaten like grapes -- skin, seeds and all. The flavor is
a tart-sweet. The inner pulp is on the tart side; the skin is mildly sweet
and leaves a pleasant citrus taste in the mouth. Store kumquats in the
refrigerator for up to two weeks. Due to their thin skin, they won't store
as long as oranges. Make sure to wash the fruit prior to eating. For use
in jams and jellies, it may be necessary to remove the kumquat's seeds.
