Skin

Loquat skin is the thin outer peel, sometimes lightly downy. Thin-skinned ripe fruit can be eaten unpeeled after washing; thicker or tougher skins peel away easily from soft flesh. Skin carries some colour and mild astringency. Peeling is optional for fresh eating, preferred for silky purees and fine jams. Compost peels; they are not a standard candied product like citrus.
