Unlike the seeds of many citrus fruits that are consistently discarded, the seeds of kumquats are perfectly edible. This fact leads many to question: Should you eat kumquat seeds when consuming the small, tart citrus fruit?

According to agricultural experts, kumquats are the only citrus fruit that can be eaten entirely, peel and all. This unique feature means the question, "Is a kumquat 100% edible?" is often met with surprise, as most people are accustomed to peeling citrus. The fruit's unique balance of sweet skin and tart pulp creates a delightful flavor experience that is perfect for snacking or adding to recipes.
