alkalizing effect on the body<\/a>. Key limes have a subtly sweet flavor and the juice is more floral and aromatic than that of regular lime juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nKumquat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n These little citrus fruits are entirely edible. That\u2019s right, folks; you can eat pop the whole thing in your mouth and enjoy the beautiful combination of the sweet skin and tart flesh. You won\u2019t always find them in stores, but they can pop up at local farmer\u2019s markets. Kumquat trees are also popular in many neighborhoods, so keep your eyes peeled, especially from November to March when they\u2019re in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finger Lime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The finger lime is different from most other citrus fruits, and it gets the name because it is long, just like a finger. The flesh also differs from other citrus fruit. It looks like little gelatin balls, vesicles as they are called. You can think of it like lime caviar that you can turn into a rich marmalade or add to pickling jars. You can also zest the peel for strong notes of citrus in your culinary creations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buddha\u2019s Hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This abnormal, alien-looking fruit belongs to the citrus family, but it\u2019s definitely in a league of its own. The \u201cfingers\u201d open up as the fruit ripens, but you can\u2019t really enjoy the fruit. The only usable part of this fruit is the zest because there is no flesh. Buddha\u2019s hand has a wonderful fragrance and it is often placed as a prayer offering at pagodas or altars in Asian countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tangelo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n This funky little citrus hybrid is a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine, so the flavor is both tart and sweet. Sink your teeth into this fruit and you get hit with an immediate burst of sweetness, and the tart flavor hits you on the back nine. They are easy to peel and make great substitutes for oranges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calamansi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Calamansi is a classic citrus fruit in both Malaysian and Filipino cuisine. The peel is green and the flesh is a bright orange, but don\u2019t let it fool you into thinking that it is sweet. It\u2019s only a touch sweeter than a regular lime, but it does impart unique flavor into your food. If you want to make a homemade sorbet, fresh calamansi juice is an excellent juice to use. <\/p>\n
