Calamansi - Calamondin - Philippine Lemon

Calamansi, also known as Calamondin or Philippine Lemon.
Citrus Calamondian is a hybrid citrus plant that combines the best characteristics of kumquat and tangerine. Originally native to the Philippines, it is known for its small, juicy and tart fruits, which are often used in cooking and beverages. The fruits are small, round and orange with a thin, edible skin. They sit on branches with shiny, green leaves and fragrant white flowers, which makes the tree both functional and decorative.

Calamondin is used in many Asian dishes as a source of sour flavor. The juice is ideal for marinades, dips and refreshing drinks, and the peel can be used to make jam. Calamondin trees can be grown outdoors in warm climates or as decorative indoor plants in colder climates. They are easy to care for and bring a tropical touch to any home.
