The loquat, scientifically known as Eriobotrya japonica, is a species of flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. Native to southeastern China, it is cultivated for its small, yellow or orange, pear-shaped fruits. Loquats have a sweet and tangy flavor, reminiscent of a blend between apricots and plums. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they are enjoyed fresh, made into jams, jellies, and desserts, or used in culinary dishes. The loquat tree is also valued for its ornamental beauty, with glossy green leaves and fragrant white flowers.
