I have a plant called "Kumquat Obowata" is the fruit edible? M L Cole?

You probably have an kumquat called Fukushu or Changshou kumquat (Fortunella obovata). It is edible. As other people have noted, you eat the entire fruit; the rind is sweet but the fruit is tart.

Kumquats are one of my favorite fruits!





You do NOT peel them - just pop the whole tiny fruit in your mouth and enjoy the tart citrus flavor of peel, juice and orange.

just make sure you wash them good, then peal them and watch out for the HUGE seeds.


enjoy.
