Kumquats, whole fruit, raw

Kumquats are citrus fruits that can be eaten whole, including the peel. The figures here describe the raw whole fruit. They mainly provide water and carbohydrate, along with vitamin C and smaller amounts of other vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, they contain 9.3g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugars, 39mg of vitamin C and 0.5g of fat.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, which is important for skin, blood vessels and other tissues, and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. The sugars in raw whole kumquats are naturally present in the fruit rather than added. Full nutrient figures, including energy and salt, are in the tables below.
