Loquat is also called Japanese (wool) medlar. Loquats are small golden orange fruit with a delicious floral aroma of rose fragrance. Canned Loquats taste tangy, slightly sweet, and are hugely versatile. The fruit is often compared to the apricot due to its similar size, taste, and texture. Canned Loquats in light syrup are ready-to-eat. You can use the delicious loquats for the preparation of fruit salads and jellies or to make jams and chutneys.
