Kumquats

Store in a single layer to prevent bruising and spoilage. For freezing, wash and dry them thoroughly, then freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.

Wash kumquats thoroughly before eating, as the peel is eaten.

To reduce tartness, you can gently roll the kumquats between your fingers before eating.

Kumquats can be sliced and added to marinades for pork or chicken, or candied for a sweet treat.

Try them thinly sliced in green salads for a bright, citrusy kick.

Discarding the peel: The peel is the sweetest part and should be eaten.

Not washing them: Since the peel is eaten, it's important to wash them well.
