By the way, mandarins took their name from those same Chinese Mandarins - high-ranking and wealthy representatives of the Chinese elite. And this happened because in those days only they could afford to buy these amazingly delicious fruits.
Fortunately, today everyone can afford tangerines. Both children and adults are happy to enjoy these bright sunny fruits. But how to choose tangerines correctly to fully enjoy their wonderful aroma and taste? There are a few simple rules for this.
First, the ratio of the size and weight of the fruit is important. Ripe and sweet mandarin always visually looks heavier than it actually is.
Also, good taste indicators of tangerines can be predicted, focusing on their origin. Turkish tangerines have a yellow-green color, they are small, their peel is smooth and does not separate easily. They contain many seeds, and not very sweet, even slightly sour. The tangerine variety from Morocco is completely seedless and very sweet. Such tangerines have a bright orange color, and their thin peel is cleaned quite easily. The most juicy, fragrant and sweet tangerines are brought to us from Spain. They are large, bright orange, their skin is porous and rather thick. There are seeds in them, but not at all.
How to choose tangerines correctly?
Very simple. If you are confused by too much variety of mandarins on the market, you can simply purchase one mandarin from several sellers, and try them right on the spot. Having chosen the variety you like, you can safely buy as much as you need. Naturally, it is advisable to pay attention to ensure that all the fruits are intact, rot without spots - the overripe tangerines are not stored for a long time.
By the way, in some recommendations on healthy eating, experts advise eating whole tangerines - that is, together with the peel and white mesh covering the fruits under the skin. It is the mesh that contains glycosides that strengthen the cardiovascular system, and the peel of mandarins is rich in vitamins, organic acids and essential oils, which are very useful for the human body.
