Reply:its a small citrus fruit, orange in colour, olive shaped, about 4-6cm long. they are sour but sweet at the same time, and are eaten whole(not peeled) as their skin is thinner and softer than most citrus fruits. - you should find one and try it, theyre lovely, many supermarkets stock them nowadays. they look very pretty sliced and used as agarnish for salads etc.

Reply:I love kumquats. it's a very tiny little orange that you just pop in your mouth peel and all. I once gave one to my brother in law and howled as he sniffed it and then tried to peel it. You peel a kumquat and there's nothing left.

Reply:Kumquats are small, oval citrus fruits. They are usually between one to two inches long and have leathery orange or yellow skin. The fruit has a sweet outer skin and a tart inner flesh. The fruit can be eaten whole or some people prefer eating only the skin.





Kumquats are similar in appearance to other citrus fruits except kumquats are much smaller. The picture to the left compares kumquats to an orange.
