KUMQUATSSee also: Kumquat Facts & Trivia

KUMQUAT

Selection, Storage, and Preparation
Kumquats can appear in markets from October (at the earliest) through June, and during some unpredictable off-season times as well. Considered a winter fruit, their golden color is a welcome sight. Select fruits that are firm, not soft. Because of their skin, they tend to spoil

 

more easily than thicker skinned fruits such as oranges. Kumquats will last a few days at room temperature or for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. The entire kumquat is consumed in a bite or two. Because of their size and color, they are also great as drink garnishes or as an addition to salads. Wash kumquats before serving.

Make kumquats part of your 5 to 9 A Day Plan!
--Eat and serve as you would grapes.
--Substitute for oranges in duck and other orange-based dishes.
--Use as a drink or plate garnish to be eaten.
--Add to salads for a colorful, tasty addition.
