Satsuma Mandarin
Description
Satsuma Mandarin - a healthy citrus treat that's sweet, juicy & easy to peel. Satsuma Mandarins are most often eaten out of hand, but they are also used in salads, jellies & fish dishes. Also known as Honey Citrus, Satsuma Mandarins are most often eaten out of hand because of their sweet & juicy nature in a convenient package - they make the perfect snack. They are also used in salads - often paired with Fennel, blue cheese and other bold. Satsuma mandarins also do well in jellies and preserves given their high brix (sugar) content. Chefs also enjoy incorporating the flavor components of Satsuma Mandarins into fish dishes including halibut, flounder, rockfish and other mildly sweet species. Satsuma Mandarins are excellent juiced - pairing especially well with bananas, mangoes and strawberries.
