What is calamansi?

Calamansi · Tagalog

A tiny, sour Filipino citrus that looks like a little lime but tastes like a cross between lime and tangerine.

What it tastes like

Very sour and juicy, with a sweet orange-like perfume hiding behind all that tartness.

Where you’ll see it

Filipino restaurants squeeze it over pancit and fried fish, mix it into soy dipping sauces, and use it in sodas, cocktails and desserts.
