The Meiwa Kumquat, also known as Sweet Kumquat, Neiha Kinkan, or Sweet Kinkan, is one of the sweetest and most popular kumquat varieties. The small, round fruit is entirely edible, including the peel, flesh, and seeds, making it ideal for fresh eating. The tender, juicy flesh is slightly acidic, while the sweet rind balances the flavor, creating a rich, sweet-tart citrus experience. This compact and ornamental tree is highly productive and well suited for containers and home gardens.
