Mandarins (peeled, segments)
Description
Mandarins (peeled, segments) are juicy, intensely orange pieces with a sweet-tart, subtly aromatic flavor and a soft, moist texture, easy to separate into segments. They are low in calories, rich in vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and flavonoids, which support immunity, skin health, digestion, and have antioxidant properties, contributing to overall well-being. In the kitchen, they are suitable for desserts, fruit and vegetable salads, yogurts, breakfast cereals, and smoothies, as well as for sauces, marinades, poultry or fish dishes, and cocktails, where they add freshness and acidity. Store peeled segments in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2–3 days; they can also be frozen on a tray before transferring to a bag for several months; avoid prolonged exposure to air to prevent loss of moisture and aroma.
