Calamondin Lime: Limeless Lime of Deliciousness

The Calamondin lime, or Calamonsi here on Big Island, Hawaii, is a surprisingly delicious treat of sweet and sour in a bite sized "lime" with 0% lime!
Here in our backyard orchard, we grow this beautiful and rare variegated tasty treat of tropical goodness.
This hybrid of Mandarin Orange and Kumquat can be eaten with the skin still on and has a super sweet/sour punch like a warhead candy!

This is a super juicy and super sour/sweet fruit! It's one not many people know about, but anyone who's had one will tell you how good they are!
