Fresh mandarins (peeled, sliced)
Description
Fresh tangerines, peeled and sliced, have a sweet-tart, intensely citrus flavor and a bright orange flesh with a delicate, juicy texture. The slices are visually appealing, easy to eat, and convenient to add to dishes. From a nutritional standpoint, they provide low-calorie carbohydrates, fiber, large amounts of vitamin C, as well as antioxidants and flavonoids that support immunity, skin health, and the circulatory system, while also helping with hydration. In the kitchen, tangerine slices pair well with salads, desserts, muesli, fish dishes, sauces, and beverages, adding a fresh, aromatic touch. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days to maintain flavor and texture; for longer storage, freeze them spread out on a baking sheet, then keep in a freezer bag.
