About Kumquats

Kumquats are small citrus fruits, usually eaten whole, including their thin peel. The peel is generally aromatic and sweet-tart, while the juicy interior is sharply sour, giving the fruit a sweet-and-tangy flavour when eaten together.

They are commonly sold fresh and may be oval or round depending on type. Kumquats can also be preserved or processed, but this name alone refers to the fruit and does not specify a variety or whether a product is fresh, dried or preserved.
