About Calamondin

Calamondin is a small citrus fruit, typically used for its juice and aromatic peel. It can be used fresh in drinks, sauces, preserves, and seasonings; the fruit may also be cooked whole in some preparations.

The round fruit has a thin orange skin and juicy, strongly acidic flesh, with a sharp citrus aroma and flavour. It is sold fresh and may also be found as juice, marmalade, or preserved fruit. Comparisons depend on whether the edible portion includes peel, seeds, or added sweetener.
