Fruit
Flesh
Loquat flesh is the apricot-coloured, juicy pulp between skin and seeds—floral, sweet-tart, and tender when ripe. Yield is modest because seeds are large; peel if the skin is tough or fuzzy. Flesh cooks into bright jams with good natural pectin help from underripe fruit mixed in. Slice for fruit plates, purée for desserts, or leave in chunks for compotes. Avoid grey, translucent, or fermented-smelling flesh.
