In one of my WW entry, I posted this picture and I received few comments asking of its uses. So now, I decided to list few of the uses of Calamansi.
1) Juice. Squeeze halved calamansi (4 to 5 pieces, but it depends on the user) to a cup. Strain it. Add honey or sugar. It's a good source of vitamin C.
2) Zinger for ginger tea. Ginger tea + 1 tbsp calamansi juice + honey/sugar.
3) Tequila shots. Others use lemon, but mostly we use calamansi here.
4) Natural Air Freshener. Halved calamansi and put them in a bowl. Their peelings could do the trick, too.
5) Deodorizer. Can be placed in the fridge to eliminate odor. Or say you’ve just finished cleaning some fish (or handling something unpleasant in smell), you may rub some to eliminate the icky odor.
6) Skin whitening Agent. Definitely good for the dark knees and elbows and armpits…
7) Dip. Basic Filipino Dip = soysauce, calamansi (optional vinegar)
8) Marinade. Soysauce. Calamansi. Vinegar. Pepper. Garlic.
9) Dandruff Treatment. Cover halved calamansi with a cloth (prevents the pulp from getting stuck in your hair). Rub gently to the scalp.
10) Bleach. Its juice is proven to remove minor stains on clothes.
11) When we - my bros and sisters - were still kids, we would carefully peel and part its segments, and devour them as if they’re the sweetest thing on earth.
12) Hair highlights. In a punk, funky mood? Comb calamansi juice through the hair or into some strands and leave it there. The sun will lighten the strands faster, giving the hair a sun-streaked look. (I have not actually done this, but I have friends who have tried this trick.)
13) Thursday Thirteen subject. Wink.

Hey thanks for sharing...I didnt know so much abt it :(
Happy TT!
thanks for sharing, nice one! Hope you'll visit mine too...
I thought I would know all (for me) exotic fruits but have never heard of Calmansi !
Huh...I never knew this fruit existed. (They probably don't import many to the US.)
Happy Thursday 13 - visit mine!
11th way --- cool! :) how fast can you peel?
how about calamansi as hand sanitizer?. Is this effective to use?
Thanks for sharing this! The 12th way --it kinda worked for we, but I didn't let it sit on my hair for too long. I have a natural black hair and it made my hair color lighter. I love it! :))
Hey, is all of the things written here are all scientifically proven? I mean, if it's already known to do that?
Maybe a little bit off, but I managed to light up a LED using calamansi battery. :D
Cheers!
@Bluexi-
how did you do that? Post it please!!! :D
Hi! I'm a calamansi lover. I have something to add to your list. Get the juice from 8 pcs. of calamansi. Drink it without anything on it. It does taste a bit too sour but you'll get used to it after a couple of days. Just think of all the goog things it will give to our body. Do this when you wake up every morning and drink it on empty stomach. Good for dieters and helps keep our liver and kidneys healthy. I've been doing this for a month now and it works wonders on my belly fats!
