Every backyard must have calamansi, I think.

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 16 Feb 18

It was just out of a whim that I threw calamansi seeds in my backyard eleven years ago. Soon after, I saw tiny plants peeping. Surprised, as the backyard soil was thick and was not suitable for growing plants, I gladly arranged...

Why is grapefruit called grapefruit when it doesn't even look like grapes?
