A kumquat resembles a miniature oval orange, 3–5 centimetres long and 2–4 centimetres wide. Depending on variety, peel color ranges from yellow to red. Kumquat fruit is generally in season from late autumn to mid-winter, and can be found in most food markets with other produce. Here is a picture of the kumquat:
