Calamansi is hard to find in America and if I find one store that sells this, they sell it very expensive. So we ended up buying lemon, lime or THIS as substitute. Anyways, Calamansi is a very famous citrus for both Medicinal and Food usage. Read on.
There are many benefits that we could get from calamansi:
