Today is Try-it Tuesday! Our fruit is Kumquats. Kumquats are high in vitamin C, and A. They are a sweet but have a citrus tart burst of flavor. They are about the size of an olive or a medium sized grape. Kumquats are a mini sized orange athat have a rough outer layer.
When your eating a kumquat you can either eat it with or without the skin; but, it is usually eaten with the sweet skin. This gives a sweet and sour flavor. Kumquats are from Southern China and where known to the public in 1846-1850. Did you know that kumquats are used for decoration?!
If you were wondering, Kamquats can be made into jelly or jam but is usually made into a jam. You might think they are like little baby oranges but they are not that alike, unlike any baby orange the skin of the kumquat is edible. We hope that you enjoy this fruit for try it Tuesday!
