Kumquats are ickle, edible fruits, that look similar to tiny oranges. Unlike oranges, however, kumquat skin is edible. This means there is no need to peel a kumquat, which is just as well, because they are so ickle that peeling   them would be quite a challenge. Kumquats are juicy and tasty, with a sweet outer skin and a tart inner flesh. When ripe, kumquats can be yellow or orange, and they can be either oval or round in shape. Not only are kumquats yummy for the tummy, they are also fun for the tongue. Try saying "kumquat" out loud a few times. See? KW
