Kumquats?

Does anyone know if guineas can have kumquats? I was in the grocery store today and saw some there. Ive never had them so i don't know what they're like and they're not on the chart.

I've never had them either and don't know the nutritional value on them. I think it's best for now to leave them in the store. When I get the time, I will look up the info on them.

Re: Kumquats?

I have a kumquat tree growing in one of the large pots outside. Generally you eat the fruit as a whole, though you can peel it if you wish. The inside bit is very bitter, with the skin being the sweeter bit.

Re: Kumquats?

I have heard of a kumquat. But, what exactly are they? I think I have a general idea of what they look like.

Re: Kumquats?

A kumquat is a small citrus fruit about the size of a large olive and approximately olive-shaped as well, with small seeds in it. It is colored orange. The pulp is sour, the rind sweet, and they are either eaten whole (rind and all) or candied.
