The Philippinos call the cumquat calamansi and squeeze them on their starchy, salty dishes to add contrast & zing. They're really nice that way but I don't cook a lot of those dishes. Cumquat marmalade is really nice.
Some of my lemons & even the limes get quite sweet when they get really ripe. They still have that acidic tang though. I planted a lemonade lemon over a decade ago but I don't even know if it's still alive. None of them have that round shape to them though. The only one that is similar is the bush lemon that has random weird shaped fruit (root stock took over the graft).
Most of mine are oranges now. They're really awesome to juice & I really enjoy drinking it in season. Mandarins & tangelos are pretty good to juice too 🤣
I should really be planting the bush lemon seeds for root stock & using my friends & my existing trees to graft onto them. I've never been great at grafting though.
