Kumquat - Fortunella margarita

As the Chinese New Year is two-weeks away, the fruit orchard is very colorful with the ripening of the kumquat. This "little gems of the citrus family" is an oval-shaped fruit with a shape and size of an olive.



Their sweet edible rind can be eaten raw or preserved into marmalade, jam, jelly or candy..



With a cup of warm water mix a spoonful of a candied kumquat and you can drink the mixture like a warm orange-juice. Spread its jam on a white bread or toast, you can taste the delicious flavor of a sweet kumquat for a snack!
