Kumquats...

This wwonderfully sweet and tangy fruit has become a new favorite of mine!  Bob brought them home and surprised me with this little winter/spring season delicacy. Although kumquats taste like citrus fruits, they are distinguished from them in a way that they can be eaten whole with the peel. Like citrus fruits, kumquats also low in calories. 100 g of fresh fruit provide only 71 calories. Nevertheless, they are incredibly rich sources of health benefiting dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins, and pigment anti-oxidants that contribute immensely to our health and wellness.  They are little bursts of freshness in my salads!
