Summary of Organic Tangerine
Category
Product details
The mandarin orange 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 may reduce the risk of certain diseases.
- Fiber: Tangerines are 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-looking skin.
- Strengthening the Immune System.
Seasonal Calendar
The mandarin season in the Canary Islands, as in many temperate regions, generally runs from autumn to spring. Mandarins are usually available during these months:
- Season Start: Begins around October or November.
- Peak Season: The greatest availability and maturity is between December and February.
- End of Season: The season usually concludes 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 fully enjoy their flavor and benefits. Here are some tips for choosing the best mandarins:
- Weight: A good quality mandarin 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, conversely, too soft.
- Peel: The peel should be a bright, uniform orange color. Avoid tangerines with green spots, as this could indicate they are not fully ripe. However, a few minor imperfections on the peel do not affect the internal quality of the fruit.
- Aroma: A fresh, ripe mandarin will have a sweet citrus aroma. If it has no scent or smells fermented, it's best to avoid it.
- Shape: She prefers mandarins with a rounded, uniform shape. While shape doesn't directly affect flavor, it can be an indicator of uniform fruit development.
- Sticky Peel: Mandarins with peel that's slightly attached to the pulp are usually sweeter. Those with very loose peel may indicate that they've lost freshness.
Conservation
Here are some tips for keeping tangerines fresh and juicy:
- Avoid Humidity: Keep them in a cool, dry place if you prefer not to refrigerate them, and consume them within a week.
- Perforated Bag: Use a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator to maintain humidity 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 up: Do not pile them up in large quantities, as this can cause deterioration or mold.

Wow, these tangerines are delicious! Sweet, with just the right amount of tartness, and super juicy. They peel easily and have hardly any seeds.
Gara M. –
There's no comparison between these organic tangerines and the ones you buy anywhere else. They disappear in no time at home; my kids devour them because they're so easy to peel and don't have that sour aftertaste that makes them wrinkle their noses.
