— FRUIT – CITRUS
Limequat
A limequat is essentially a cross between a kumquat and a lime. You can eat this small, green citrus fruit with the skin and all and the taste is just like you are used to from a regular lime: sour and a bit bitter.

How to store
Do not keep limequats in the refrigerator, but on the fruit bowl, where they can be kept for 1 to 2 weeks.
How to eat
You can use the juice of the limequat. But more fun is to cut the mini limes into slices, halves or slices and decorate a salad or other dish that could use some lime juice!
