Product Details
Tangerine is a very popular citrus fruit and has several beneficial health properties:
- Rich in Vitamin C: Tangerines are an excellent source of vitamin C, essential for the immune system and skin health.
- Antioxidants: They contain antioxidants such as vitamin C and flavonoids, which help fight free radicals and can reduce the risk of certain diseases.
- Fiber: Tangerine is a good source of fiber, which helps improve digestion and maintain a healthy digestive system.
- Low in Calories.
- Heart Health: The compounds present in tangerines can help reduce cholesterol and maintain cardiovascular health.
- Skin Health: Thanks to their vitamin C and antioxidant content, tangerines can contribute to healthier, younger skin.
- Strengthening the Immune System.
Season calendar
The tangerine season in the Canary Islands, as in many temperate regions, generally runs from autumn to spring. Tangerines are usually available in these months:
- Start of the Season: Starts around October or November.
- Peak of the Season: The greatest availability and maturity is between December and February.
- End of Season: The season usually ends towards the end of March or April.
These dates may vary slightly from year to year depending on weather conditions and other agricultural factors.
Selection tips
Selecting good quality mandarins is important to enjoy their flavor and benefits to the fullest. Here are some tips for choosing the best tangerines:
- Weight: A good quality tangerine should feel heavy for its size. This indicates a high juice content.
- Firmness: Look for tangerines that are firm to the touch, but with a certain degree of softness. Avoid those that feel too hard or, on the contrary, too soft.
- Skin: The skin should be a bright, uniform orange color. Avoid tangerines with green spots, as this could indicate that they are not fully ripe. However, some small imperfections in the skin do not affect the internal quality of the fruit.
- Aroma: A fresh, ripe tangerine will give off a sweet citrus aroma. If it has no odor or smells like fermentation, it is best to avoid it.
- Shape: Prefer mandarins that have a rounded and uniform shape. Although shape does not directly affect flavor, it can be an indicator of uniform fruit development.
- Tight Skin: Tangerines with the skin slightly attached to the pulp tend to be sweeter. Those with very loose skin may be an indication that they have lost freshness.
Conservation
Here are some tips to keep tangerines fresh and juicy:
- Avoid Humidity: Keep them in a cool, dry place if you prefer not to refrigerate them, consuming them within a week.
- Perforated Bag: Use a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator to maintain moisture balance.
- Fruit Separation: Store them away from fruits that emit ethylene, such as apples or bananas, to prevent them from ripening too quickly.
- Avoid Piling Them: Do not pile them in large quantities, as this can cause spoilage or mold.
