Tangerine

Small citrus fruits closely related to oranges and mandarins. Typically smaller and slightly flattened compared to oranges, with a deep orange or reddish-orange peel that is easy to remove. The flesh of tangerines is juicy and tender, divided into easily separable segments. They are rich in vitamin C, providing a refreshing burst of citrus flavor along with a boost of antioxidants and dietary fiber. Tangerines are enjoyed fresh as a snack, added to salads, desserts, and savory dishes, or juiced for a refreshing beverage.

Usage Instructions: Can use as decoration on desserts or can eat by its own.

Storage Instruction: 

Room Temperature: Store tangerines at room temperature if you plan to consume them within a few days. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can cause them to spoil more quickly.

Refrigeration: If you need to store tangerines for a longer period or slow down the ripening process, refrigeration is recommended. Place them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, where they will stay fresh for up to two weeks.

Separation: Store tangerines away from other fruits and vegetables that produce ethylene gas, as this can accelerate ripening and spoilage. If possible, keep them in a separate compartment or drawer to maintain their freshness.

Ventilation: Avoid storing tangerines in plastic bags or airtight containers, as this can trap moisture and promote mold growth. Instead, opt for perforated bags or loosely wrap them in paper towels to allow for airflow and prevent condensation.
