Reply:orange and yes, dried kumquats are quite tasty, and it's often used in asian herbal teas, it's very soothing for the throat if it's sore!
Reply:Kumquats are orange. In fact they look like little oranges. They taste great, though they may take a little getting used to the first time you eat one.





They are eaten whole, peel and all. The flavors are the opposite of most citrus fruits. The peel is sour and sweet while the pulp inside is sour and slightly bitter. When you bite into the kumquat, the slightly bitter juice of the pulp of the juice is the first thing that hits your taste buds. That is then smoothed out by the sweetness of the peel.





It's a great flavor, but it can catch you off guard if you don't know what to expect.
Reply:Orange in color and they taste between a tangerine and an orange.
Reply:The kumquat tree is slow-growing, shrubby, compact, 8 to 15 ft (2.4-4.5 m) tall, the branches light-green and angled when young, thornless or with a few spines. The apparently simple leaves are alternate, lanceolate, 1 1/4 to 3 3/8 in (3.25-8.6 cm) long, finely toothed from the apex to the middle, dark-green, glossy above, lighter beneath. Sweetly fragrant, 5-parted, white flowers are borne singly or 1 to 4 together in the leaf axils. The fruit is oval-oblong or round, 5/8 to 1 1/2 in (1.6-4 cm) wide; peel is golden-yellow to reddish-orange, with large, conspicuous oil glands, fleshy, thick, tightly clinging, edible, the outer layer spicy, the inner layer sweet; the pulp is scant, in 3 to 6 segments, not very juicy, acid to subacid; contains small, pointed seeds or sometimes none; they are green within.
