Important for your immune system

Kumquats have polyphenols in them like green tea and beta carotenes important for your immune system, and even great zeaxanthines, and luteins that are important for eye health. Kumquat is eaten along with its peel, a unique feature that differentiates it from other citrus family fruits. Its peel is rich in many essential oils, anti oxidants, and fiber. 100 g whole kumquats provide 6.7 g or 17% of daily recommended levels of fiber composed of tannins, pectin, hemi cellulose, and other non starch polysaccharides (NSP).
