Description
It looks like a small, oval orange, but the kumquat, which originates in Asia, is a member of another species, fortunella. Their name comes from the Cantonese, kam kwat, meaning ‘golden orange’.
The small elongated fruits are about the size and shape of a large olive.
The flesh of a kumquat has a sharp flavour, while the skin is sweeter. The two different flavours complement each other well and make a sweet-sour sensation when eaten whole. Kumquats succeed in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Our dried kumquat halves are ideal for making a hot fruit tea, or as a garnish to drinks, cocktails and deserts.
