What Is A Limequat?

A cross between a Key lime and a kumquat, the Limequat produces small, oval fruit with a zesty lime flavour and thin, edible skin. The fruit can be eaten fresh, sliced into drinks, or used in marmalades and cooking. It’s a prolific bearer with fruit maturing through autumn and early winter.
