Description
The Kumquat is a small fruit that belongs to the citrus family, elongated, about 2-4 cm long, orange in colour and weighing 10-20 grams. Our jam is made with the whole Kumquat, the skin is edible, curiously the rind is sweet and the inside is somewhat more bitter-acid, unlike the rest of citrus fruits. It has a very special flavour and more than fabulous nutritional characteristics. It is rich in Vitamin C, potassium and folic acid; it contains a large amount of minerals and trace elements such as magnesium and calcium as well as fibre. It has antioxidant properties thanks to carotenoids (oxalic, tartaric, malic and citric acid).
