Honey Kumquat

In the world of citrus, honey kumquats stand out as a unique and delightful experience. Resembling miniature oranges, these gems offer a surprising twist – their thin, sweet, and entirely edible skin eliminates the need for peeling. Unlike other citrus fruits, kumquats boast a tart flesh that harmonises seamlessly with the sweet peels, creating a delightful balance of flavours. With minimal edible seeds, these fruits can be savoured whole, adding a burst of zesty goodness to your palate.

STORAGE

Much like their orange counterparts, Honey Kumquats thrive in a kitchen fruit bowl for a few days. Extend their freshness by storing them in a sealed container in the fridge, where they can stay crisp and flavourful for up to two weeks.
