A comquad, or kumquat, is a small citrus fruit belonging to the Fortunella genus. It is known for its unique flavor, as the skin is sweet while the flesh is tart, allowing it to be eaten whole. Comquads are often used in cooking, preserves, and garnishes, and they are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. They thrive in warm climates and are often grown in home gardens and orchards.
