...and if I may do a "two-fer" I'll add...
kumquats
since I searched and found this interesting tidbit:
Jewel-Like Kumquats Are a Versatile, Tasty Fruit
Kumquat means "gold orange" in Chinese, and was first introduced to the United States in 1885, arriving in Saint Joseph, Fla., by way of Japan. That city now is known as the "Kumquat Capital," with orchards of the shrub-like trees blossoming with the beautiful jewel-like fruits among dark green leaves.
Kumquats can be eaten whole, but the peel is the sweetest part and good enjoyed separately. The seeds and juice are sour, so when eaten whole, the fruit produces a burst of sweet and sour.
