Loquats are small, tartly sweet, golden-yellow to orange fruit that resembles an apricot in size and color. The juicy, crisp flesh is pale yellow and has a delicate, sweetly tart cherry-like or pear-like flavour. It surrounds 1 to 3 seeds that are about the size of apricot pits. These fruits are favourites among Asian cultures. Loqauts are also known as Japanese plum. They are a great delicacy in the Orient. It is not a citrus fruit, but more closely related to a pear or apple.
