Ladies and gentlemen, the following discovery is brought to you by THE MISTER. He recently tried something that he DEMANDED I share with you all.

Kumquats. Kumqwhat?!

No, not a little critter from Star Wars

but almost as cute!

Seriously, how cute are they? They are a little larger than BIG grapes.

For those of you who are fond of sour patch kids, kumquats would make the perfect treat!

These bite-sized fruits pack a juicy, sour punch with a hint of sweetness. Great for a refreshing snack or salad mix-in. Naturally, kumquats contain vitamin C (related to the orange), but because the peel is supposed to be eaten, kumquats provide a great source of fiber, as well.

TIP: Before you pop your quat,  you should roll it around in your hand gently. This will release essential oils from the skin of the fruit into the pulp, adding to its taste.

Have you tried kumquats? How do you enjoy them? What is your favorite exotic fruit?
