Did you know?
- Kumquats are native to Southeast Asia, and their name comes from the Cantonese word “kam kwat,” meaning “golden orange.”
- Unlike most citrus fruits, kumquats are eaten with their peel, which is sweet, while the inner flesh is tart.
- The kumquat plant can grow in small, ornamental trees, often found in gardens or as houseplants due to their attractive appearance.
Drawback
- The peel of kumquats may be too bitter for some, making the taste less appealing to those who prefer sweeter fruits.
- Kumquats are highly perishable, so they must be consumed quickly or stored properly to avoid spoilage.
- Excessive consumption of kumquats may lead to stomach upset in individuals sensitive to acidic fruits.
