Limequats

Everything I've tried in the quat family has been interesting and good, from kum- to citrange-.
Limequats are not a good substitute for kumquats in cooking, though.  Good for limes, and use lots of the zest.  Tart, but sweeter than lime, and they do have the kumquat tones.  Remember them?  The Kumquat Tones?

Limequats are very refreshing and add a certain wonderfully bright limequatity to sparkling water and many mixed drinks, dry or sweet - or so I'm told. 
Limequats are what was from the farm today, with mizuna, eggs, stellaria, beets with very nice greens, daikon, nettles, purple sweet potato, and some well-rooted thick-stemmed cilantro that's just been laughing at the cold weather.
