Mandarins are small-sized citrus fruits, slightly smaller than oranges and grapefruits, with a bright orange peel that is easy to remove. They typically contain seeds inside. When you bite into a mandarin, you'll experience a sweet, mild, and juicy flavor, accompanied by a fresh, vibrant aroma that makes them irresistible.
Due to their low fiber content, mandarins are best enjoyed fresh rather than juiced. Their gentle sweetness and refreshing taste make mandarins an ideal snack for all ages, offering a perfect blend of natural flavor and hydration.
