Kumquat tree blossoming Again WOW 😮

So, what exactly is a kumquat?

Orange in color, this small bite-sized fruit can be eaten – skin and all, providing a flavorful, pungent sweet and sour taste. It is a member of the citrus family and often baked into desserts and used as a glaze or flavoring for main dishes.

Kumquats are great for you thanks to low sugar content and roughly 63 calories in each small kumquat. Additionally, this winter citrus fruit is loaded with fiber, which is essential for type 1 and type 2 diabetics.

Peak growing season: November to March are ideal growing months for this fruit. Health benefits: Kumquats provide potassium and vitamins A and C. They’re also a good source of fiber.

The kumquat is believed to be a native of China, and has long been a symbol of prosperity during the Chinese New Year celebrations. It was brought to the U.S. where two species are grown, the Nagami and the Meiwa. The more common Nagami (oval shaped) kumquat is tart and ideal for marmalades and jellies, while the Meiwa (round shaped), is sweeter and ideal for snacking, lacking the tartness of a Nagami.

Kumquats are a member of the Florida citrus family and are a small, bite-sized fruit, characterized by a distinct sweet and sour taste. They can be eaten – did we mention, skin and all – but they do have seeds. Many Floridians love to pop them in their mouth and eat them whole. #underarmour #kumquats
