Kumquats





I saw these kumquats at the grocery store.  I've never tried one before so did a bit of research.  It seems you just pop them into your mouth skin and all and optionally spit the seeds out.  They are sweet, tangy to the taste...grapefruit tangy I'd say.  Here's a video explaining how to eat one. And here's a bit more information about the fruit. Have you ever had one?  I can't say it's one of my favourites.

No, don't think I've ever tried one. I'm curious now. I don't think I've seen them at the grocery store. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

No I have never tried kumquats. Anytime you have to spit out seeds? No thanks. Lol.

I don't think I have, or at least, don't recall it.

I like them fine, but they are not a favorite. I love kiwi fruit much more! :)

There are kumquats grown here in the San Joaquin Valley. I don't like them as there is nothing much to them except the rind.
