kumqu_2.gif (8093 bytes)Kumquat is the name of a walnutsized citrus fruit which originally comes from China. There are both oval and round types. One eats the fruit whole, that is, with the peel on. The flavour is picuant, freshly sour with a bittersweet nuance.

Kumquats taste good together with chocolate and one can slice the fruit into thin slices or pieces and decorate chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, and so on. Kumquat in pieces goes well in salads. The fruits can be boiled whole in. sugar-water or be made into jam and served with meat for example.

We import kumquats during a large part of the year from, among other places, South America and Israel. They should be kept cool.

Thank you, oh, thank you Jessica for making it
all clear to us.  We are whelmed.)

Seize the moment!  Harass the publisher!
