With a flavor similar to peaches, apricots, and mangoes, loquats are versatile enough to be put to many different culinary uses. To open a loquat, simply cut it down the middle, pry it open, and remove the seeds. Once that's done, you can enjoy the fruit on its own or use it in any number of tasty recipes. Loquats are self-pollinating, and they do not need another tree to produce fruits.
