kumquats
Bite-sized citrus fruits
Kumquats is the plural of kumquat, a small citrus fruit eaten whole—peel and all.
Unlike other citrus, the rind is sweet while the flesh is tart.
About the size of a large olive, kumquats are often used in preserves, marmalades, or as garnishes: The salad was topped with sliced kumquats.
