Kumquat means "gold orange" in Chinese.
It is the only citrus variety in the world that is eaten with its peel. It contains a large amount of vitamins and has begun to be cultivated in our country as well.
Kumquat is perhaps the only fruit tree that can be grown in homes, living rooms, and balconies. Also known as the miniature orange, kumquat is used both as a vitamin source and as an ornamental plant, even as a landscaping material in the interior design of 5-star hotels. Russians call this plant the "doctor" and place it on the windowsill on the south-facing side of their homes to bring good luck. It is also used in Feng Shui to bring fortune. Psychologically, watching flowers and scenery has benefits. When this plant is placed on the south side, it will release a fragrance due to the effect of the heat, which soothes nerves and helps prevent depression. The positive effects of pleasant scents are numerous. The scent of mandarin is calming.
Eating one a day meets the vitamin C requirement.
The price of this ornamental plant is around 3-4 TL.
