portakalın minyatürü gibi duran bir meyve bu, ama portakal değil. kabuğuyla da yenebiliyor. gerçi ben aldığım kumkuatların yarısını ziyan ettim ya neyse. türkçe bilmeyen amerikalılar kumquat ya da cumquat diye yazmaya kasıyorlar bu kelimeyi.

kabugu* tatli olan tek turuncgildir bekli de. tatli, bergamotu andiran bir kokusu vardir. hurma buyuklugundedir. elinizle hafifce sikar, kabugundan isirabilirsiniz. etinden bi fayda olmaz, kabuguna yuklenin. isirinca cussesine meydan okuyan buyuklukte (bir portakal cekirdegi kadar) cekirdekler bulursaniz sasirmayin. sarmisagin antidoteudur bi nevi, yedikten sonra 12 saat kokusunu hissedersiniz.
