Citrus japonica
Contents
Description
- Citrus belonging to Fortunella, which is a closely related genus to Citrus, has a varying degree of sexual compatibility with Citrus,usually eaten raw as a whole fruit together with the peel, excluding the seeds. Kumquat originated in China and produces edible fruit of various shapes. It is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide, with immense total global production. In addition to its use as fresh food or as a beverage source, citrus products from wild species are valuable for traditional medical and sanitary purposes. Kumquat has been used in traditional herbal medicine, especially for colds and coughs. The juvenile phase of kumquat is significantly shorter than that of other Citrus species, and kumquat can flower several times per year. Kumquats are also an excellent source of nutrients and phytochemicals, including ascorbic acid, carotenoids, flavonoids and essential oils. Some Fortunella plants, such as Fortunella japonica Swingle, Fortunella margarita. Swingle and Fortunella crassifolia Swingle are commonly cultivated in the southern region of China. F. crassifolia, known as jingdan or meiwa kumquat, has a typical citrus character. [1] [2].
