Calamansi is derived from the calamansi fruit, an extremely sour variety of citrus fruit commonly called golden lime.
Calamansi is a citrus fruit similar to lemon and limes. It is often called calamondin in America.
It is also known as calamondin and is scientifically known as Citrofortunella microcarpa.
This fruit is a hybrid of a member of the citrus genus, that is to say, orange and kumquat, and is widely cultivated in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines.
This sour fruit is rich in vitamin C and certain antioxidants, such as limonene, as well as potassium, vitamin A, and calcium.
Although the juice of this fruit is incredibly sour, many people still consume it on a regular basis due to its many impressive health benefits.
