What Are Calamansi Limes?
Our most favourite citrus plant. Calamansi limes are a citrus fruit of the species Citrus x microcarpa, which are believed to be a hybrid of kumquats (Citrus japonica) and mandarin oranges (Citrus reticulata). They are sometimes also known as Philippine limes, Philippine lemons. They're native to the Philippines as well as parts of Indonesia and China.

Calamansi limes are small fruits, usually measuring around an inch in diameter and weighing around 30 grams. They're round to slightly flattened. The skin of the fruit is shiny and thin, and can be eaten along with the rest of the fruit. Calamansi limes are green when immature, turning a greenish orange and then finally fully orange as it ripens. The fruit itself is orange in colour, even when the skins are still green, and consists of around seven to nine segments along with a number of cream-colored seeds. They are available year-round, although their peak season is from winter to early spring.

These are the perfect citrus fruit for cooking and cocktails with very distinct flavour profile.
