The mandarin, fruit of the Citrus Nobilis, is a well-known citrus fruit that is appreciated both for its flavor and its nutritional value. It is practically spherical in shape, slightly flattened at the base depending on the variety, and has a smooth, shiny rind. Its skin is bright orange, and its pulp, also orange, is very tasty, juicy, and sweet, and is divided into 10 to 12 segments. The mandarin stands out for its intense and peculiar aroma.

It has been cultivated in the Mediterranean basin for a minimum of 200 years. The main producing countries are Spain, USA, Morocco, China and Israel.

The vitamin C and calcium content of this fruit stands out, in addition to its digestive properties.

It is consumed naturally. The skin is removed, which gives off a very strong and pleasant aroma, and the segments are savored, which are very refreshing.

The tangerine, like the orange, is kept in optimal conditions in the refrigerator.
