Collection: Nagami Kumquats

Nagami Kumquats are one of the most popular varieties in the Kumquat family.  And why wouldn’t they? With a tart-sweet flavor that can’t be beat, the real flavor of Nagami Kumquats is in the rind/peel itself! When you bite into them, you get that wonderful burst of tart citrus flavor, then comes the sweetness from the peel! You can eat them “as-is,” peel and all, or as many people like to do, you can make a marmalade-preserve with them. Imagine that on your morning toast! Yummy!

If you like the juicy citrus taste of mandarins, and you like a little sweet-tart “kick” of flavor, then these small, oval shaped flavor packed Nagami Kumquats are sure to please! The rind is orange and thinner than other varieties of kumquats. The flesh is orange, “sweet-tart” and acidic, and does contains a few seeds. Nagamis are quite versatile to enjoy. Think of all the great ways you can use them in your kitchen…you can eat them as is as a healthful snack, or sliced up in salads for that added “zing” of flavor. Of course they are awesome when used purees. The juice can be used in marinades or cocktails, and even made into syrup. And think of how flavorful a vinaigrette salad dressing would be with that tangy citrus flavor…Yum-O! Right?  B-T-W… Nagamis will keep up to two weeks when refrigerated.
