Rare Kumquat Recipes That Will Make You Hungry

Kumquats belong to a family of fruit-bearing trees called, 'Rutaceae'. They are small citrus fruits. They are about two-inches long and have a yellow or orange skin. The fruit is eaten whole and some people prefer eating it with the skin. They are similar to oranges in appearance.

According to historians, they were discovered in China, in the 12^th century. Today, they are grown in China, Taiwan, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the southern part of United States. Kumquats are often used in food recipes, in order to give the dish a tangy taste.
