Mandarin Oranges

Ships late-November through March One of the sweetest of citrus fruits in the orange family, Mandarin Oranges are small but plump and heavy with juice. These little oranges are sweeter and less acidic than the popular Navel Orange making Mandarins a real treat to eat. Mandarins are the perfect fruit for at-home snacking or an on-the-go energy snack. Just peel off the top and the orange's thin skin will easily roll off the bite-sized sections. Mandarin Oranges are the ideal gift for friends, family and colleagues who are health-conscious but also have a sweet tooth. Fun fact: Mandarin Oranges originated in India but the name has been used since the 1580's and is thought to be inspired by the bright orange robes worn by the Mandarins of the ancient Chinese court.
