Fruits from the Calamansi Shrub

Our backyard has a wide variety of fruit-bearing plants, one of which is the calamansi or calamondin (Citrofortunella microcarpa). Calamansi fruits have many uses.

The juice from the green fruits of this shrub can be made into a refreshing beverage.  Other culinary applications include the combination of the juice with condiments such as toyo (soy sauce) and patis (fish sauce).

As a laundry aid, the juice can also help in removing stains from clothes.

Following are images of the shrub and the fruit:
