Large and juicy, with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. We grow and harvest this year-round. Who does not remember eating Shatoot when we were young? Eat raw or cook with some sugar and lime to make a compote. A favourite with all.
The kumquat, Marumi kumquat or Morgani kumquat (retaining the name Citrus japonica or Fortunella japonica when kumquats are divided into multiple species), is an evergreen tree that produces edible golden-yellow fruit. The fruit is small and usually spherical but can be oval shaped. The peel has a sweet flavor, but the fruit has a distinctly sour center.
