About Kum Quat
Kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, either forming the genus Fortunella, or placed within Citrus sensu lato. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but it is much smaller and ovular, being approximately the size and shape of an olive.
They are slow-growing evergreen shrubs or short trees, from 2.5 to 4.5 metres (8 to 15 ft) tall, with dense branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers white, similar to other citrus flowers, borne singly or clustered in the leaf-axils. Depending on size, the kumquat tree can produce hundreds or even thousands of fruits each year.
The kumquat originally comes from south Japan and China. The meaning of the word kumquat is Golden Fruit; it was brought in Corfu in 1860 by the English agronomist Merlyn. The kumquat plants grow mainly in the NW of part of the island and it is one of the main agricultural products of Corfu.
Kumquat is a source of vitamins A and C. Vitamin C helps in wound healing, the health of the connective tissue and absorption of free radicals. The high content of kumquat in fiber makes it beneficial for the control of appetite and constant saturation. Dietary fiber is known to reduce high cholesterol. Kumquat imparts beneficial properties to health due to the antioxidants.
Kumquat is a good source of Vitamin B, which acts as cofactor to metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Is a moderately source of metals such as calcium, copper, potassium, manganese, iron, selenium and zinc. Calcium is the most important element that is required for the formation of bones and teeth. Copper is required for the production of red blood cells. Iron is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and to cell oxidation.

Paleokastritsa Monastery (Panagia - Virgin Mary - Theodokus Monastery), Corfu, Greece
The Monastery of Virgin Mary of Paleokastritsa is located in the Greek island of Corfu, 25 kilometers outside of the City of Corfu. On the rocky bluff above the beaches, the beautiful, whitewashed Paleokastritsa's Monastery (also known as the Panagia or Theotokos Monastery) is believed to have been established in the thirteenth century, though the current buildings date from the eighteenth. The small monastery church, set amidst an attractive complex of courtyards, archways, monks' cells, oil presses and storerooms, has a number of impressive icons, including depictions of St George and the dragon and an atmospheric Last Judgement, while the ceiling features a woodcarving of the Tree of Life.
There's also a museum, resplendent with further icons, most notably a beautiful Dormition of the Virgin Mary, jewel-encrusted silver-bound Bibles and other impedimenta of Greek Orthodox ritual, as well as a curious sea monster, with very large vertebrae and tusks, said to have been killed by fishermen in the last century. The real highlight, however, is the beautiful paved gardens, which afford spectacular views over the coastline.
Entrance is free of charge. The monastery consists of two levels. The lower part is a garden with stone arches, resembling a tunnel. There are a few benches and a shop for olive oil, olives and koum-quat liqueur produced by the monastery. In the shop you can see authentic olive press. Some stone stairs lead to the upper level and there you find a small yard with well, church and museum with icons and books.
Greek little churches have the gift of offering an unique sensation of happiness and serenity and Paleokastritsa monastery does just that. The location is superb, in the heart of the bay with pine trees and bouganville flowers, full of flower pots with aromatic herbs that fill the air with a lovely perfume, lazy cats dozing all over the place, the bouganville petals at one's feet, the Greek blue everywhere- the sea and clear sky and the sound of the particular insects one hears on Greek islands breaking the silence. Charming place.
Manastirea Sfintei Fecioare Maria (Panagia, in greaca) este situata in Paleokastritsa, probabil cea mai fermecatoare statiune a insulei Corfu. Manastirea a fost construita in secolul 13 (anul 1228) conform inscriptiei gravata pe poarta manastirii, pe locul unde a fost gasita o icoana a Fecioarei Maria, pe dealul Agios Spyridon (Sf. Spiridon) acoperit cu maslini si chiparosi si care vegheaza asupra fermecatoarelor golfuri care dau splendoare peisajului din jur.
Biserica actuala si chiliile calugarilor au fost construite in secolul 18. Biserica este o bazilica cu o singura nava, cu acoperis de lemn, cu clopotnita tipica bisericilor corfiote. In biserica si in muzeu se gasesc icoane rare din perioada bizantina si post-bizantina. Manastirea a avut o istorie zbuciumata, marturie fiind un tun cu stema Romanovilor (rusii au fost prezenti in Insula Corfu pentru un timp scurt in anul 1799). In timpul ocupatiei britanice, in secolul 19, manastirea a fost transformata in spital militar. In timpul celui de al Doilea Razboi Mondial, italienii au instalat aici un punct de control militar iar germanii au transformat chiliile in magazii. In manastire exista un muzeu care expune carti, modele de nave, icoane bizantine si post bizantine, vesminte monahale si bisericesti, o scoica uriasa si scheletul Monstrului marii.
