Melissa's Fresh Kumquats, (2 lb)

Kumquats are the only citrus that can be eaten whole. To enjoy at its best, roll the fruit lightly between your hands to release the aromatic oils, and chew the entire fruit all at once to combine the sweetness of the rind and the acidity of the pulp and produce a unique experience. Kumquats are used for cooking and baking and can be candied or preserved. The word Kumquat comes from the Cantonese kin kü, meaning 'golden orange'. Kumquats are traditional gift items during the Chinese New Year. Please note that the following prohibit the shipment of any citrus into their state: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and Hawaii.
