About Loquats, raw
The loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) is a small, sunny-orange fruit that grows in clusters on an evergreen tree native to China and long cultivated in Japan, with smooth skin and sweet, tangy, juicy flesh surrounding a few large glossy brown seeds. Tasting like a cross between an apricot, a plum, and citrus, it is unusual for ripening in late winter and early spring, making it one of the first fruits of the year.
Loquats are low in calories and provide vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. The thin skin is edible, though many people peel it, while the seeds are not eaten and should be discarded. They are enjoyed fresh out of hand, poached in syrup, made into jams, jellies, and chutneys, or baked into pies and tarts, and are sometimes used in cordials. Choose plump, fragrant, deep-orange fruit that gives slightly to gentle pressure, handle the delicate bruise-prone skin with care, and store ripe loquats in the refrigerator, since they do not keep long once picked and spoil quickly at room temperature.
