Citrus peel, leaves, and oils are irritating to pets. The acidic juice and pulp may cause GI upset. Bottled concentrates are stronger than fresh juice. Keep peel, leaves, and concentrated juice out of reach.
Calamansi (calamondin) is a small sour citrus fruit (Citrus × microcarpa) with tart, aromatic flavor closer to a lime-orange blend. It ripens from green to orange on compact ornamental trees.
Calamansi is widely used in Southeast Asian cooking for marinades, dipping sauces, noodle dishes, seafood, and beverages. It's sold fresh, frozen as juice cubes, and bottled as concentrate.
Many recipes combine calamansi with soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, chili, garlic, or onion. Calamansi trees kept as patio or indoor ornamentals can drop leaves and fruit within pets' reach.
