fruit Honey Tangerines bring zest and to the winter months with their bright aroma, cheery color and succulent taste.
The late harvesting Mercot variety extends the season into March. They do not store as well as do oranges so they should be used quickly. Their fragile skins make them an easy fruit for children to peel and eat.
Tangerines are a very rich source of vitamin C and also supply B vitamins, beta carotene, along with some potassium and manganese.
