Kumquats Health Benefits
-
Kumquats deliver nearly 50% of your daily vitamin C in just a handful. One of the most concentrated sources of immune-boosting vitamin C per bite in the entire citrus family.
-
Because you eat the whole fruit, kumquats deliver 6.5g of fiber per 100g, more than almost any other citrus fruit. That fiber supports healthy digestion, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and helps you feel full longer.
-
The peel is packed with polyphenolic flavonoids like naringin and narirutin, compounds that protect cells from oxidative stress and may help reduce chronic inflammation.
-
The combination of soluble fiber, potassium, and flavonoids helps reduce LDL cholesterol absorption and supports healthy blood pressure, a natural ally for cardiovascular wellness.
-
With a low glycemic profile and high fiber content that slows carbohydrate absorption, kumquats are one of the most diabetic-friendly citrus fruits available.
For Our Partners
Kumquat Shelf Life
Kumquats keep for up to 2 weeks refrigerated at 38–50°F (3–10°C) or 2–3 days at room temperature. Keep them above 38°F to help prevent chilling injury and protect their bright citrus goodness.
How to Store and Handle Kumquats
Kumquats like fresh air and a little personal space. Keep them away from ethylene-producing fruits and store in breathable containers or perforated bags to reduce moisture buildup and mould. Remove damaged fruit promptly to help keep the rest in good shape.
How to Display Kumquats
Let that golden colour do the talking! Display kumquats near mandarins, clementines, or specialty citrus to create a little citrus discovery zone. Add a sample tray with a kumquat cut in half so shoppers can see what’s inside—and taste what makes this tiny fruit special.
Kumquat Selling Tips
Here’s a fun fact many shoppers haven’t discovered yet: you eat kumquats whole, peel and all! A simple sign like “Eat me whole—peel and all!” can spark curiosity and encourage first-time purchases. Their distinctive eating experience also makes them a great fit for impulse displays and repeat buys.
