Kumquats are one of the only citrus fruits meant to be eaten whole — peel and all. Unlike oranges, the peel is actually the sweetest part, while the inside is bright and tart.
Most citrus peels are edible and rich in vitamin C, but the bitter white pith usually stops us from eating them. Kumquats are different: thin skin, minimal pith, and packed with flavor.
We grow our organic kumquats right here in Los Angeles so we can snack on them straight off the tree — sometimes just the peel! Want to see how we grow these golden gems? Watch our full story and follow for more backyard fruit tips.
