When eating kumquat, you can chew it directly with the pulp without peeling it. On the one hand, the peel of kumquat is not like other citrus fruits, and the peel and pulp are closely connected, so it is difficult to remove. On the other hand, because 80% of vitamin C in kumquat is in the peel, its nutritional value is higher than that in the pulp. In addition, kumquat with skin will taste sweeter, so kumquat can be eaten with skin.

During the growth of kumquat, the epidermis is contaminated with a lot of dust, pesticides, bacteria and other substances, so the epidermis must be cleaned before eating to avoid harmful substances entering the human body and causing gastrointestinal discomfort. Soak in salt water and wash before eating. Kumquat peel is rich in aromatic oil, which can stimulate appetite, promote fluid production and quench thirst, and is also rich in cellulose.
