About Loquat

Loquat is a small, rounded to pear-shaped fruit with yellow to orange skin and juicy, pale orange flesh. Its flavour is sweet-tart, often with a lightly floral or citrus-like character. The fruit contains one or more large, smooth seeds, which are not part of the usual edible portion.

Loquats are usually eaten fresh after peeling if desired and removing the seeds. They may also be cooked into preserves, sauces, or other preparations. Fresh fruit varies in ripeness and juiciness; cooked and preserved forms differ in moisture and may contain added sugar.
