Kumquat is not a common fruit in our supermarkets, however when you discovered in any Chinese grocery store, you will be enchanted in using this delicate fruit in a variety of savory and sweet dishes.
Although kumquats taste just like that of other citrus fruits, they are distinguished in a way that they can be eaten completely including the peel. Fresh kumquats are packed with numerous health benefiting poly-phenolic flavonoid anti-oxidants such as carotenes, lutein, zea-xanthin, tannins...etc. The kumquat peel is composed many important essential oils in it, including limonene, pinene, α-bergamotene, caryophyllene, α-humulene, and α-muurolene. Together, these compounds impart special citrus aroma to the fruit.
This sauce can go over grains, other fruits, tofu o noodles. I enjoy over Portobello mushrooms.
