which varieties beside kumquats could be eaten in whole? sweet rind,no bitterness in albedo and of course good tasting flesh.indio mandarinquat should have these qualities. which else? are there sweet lemons which also have a sweet rind?thanks!
thanks so far! can someone confirm that indio mandarinquat can be eaten in whole like a kumquat? I plantes mine last year, no fruits till now.
Has Yuzu really a sweet edible peel? I have two Yuzu trees. Plants and fruits look as Yuzu. The juice was also interestingly aromatic. But the peel was a bit bitter, certainly useful for baking etc. but I did not like to eat it. Too bitter. Are there Yuzu varieties around with different peel?
Hyuganatsu is very rewarding eaten with the albedo intact, and the flavedo adds some more challenging flavours for enjoying the fruit whole, but a partial peeling results in something extremely enjoyable to eat whole or nearly whole. The ones with the wider season of availability which are grown in greenhouses seem to have an extremely small number of seeds, while the ones grown in fields (and therefore likely to have been open pollinated) anecdotally have much higher numbers of seeds.

It's a bit bitter as well, but not as bad as some other citrus. I'd say it's not disgusting to eat, but also not interesting to eat as it is.
Thomasville Citrangequat is good eaten whole. But most people spit out the seeds....your call...ha.
