Tangerine

Tangerines are smaller than oranges and have skin that is easier to peel. They can be eaten as a snack, added to salads and stir-fries, or used in a vinaigrette or marinade when cooking seafood. Despite their small size, tangerines are packed with nutrition. One tangerine has only 37 calories and has nearly 1/3 of the vitamin C you need for the whole day! Florida is the top producer of tangerines in the United States from September to April, with peak production in late-October to mid-November. Store tangerines up to two weeks in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator. Avoid airtight or shrink-wrapped containers - citrus needs to breathe. Tangerines flavor well with honey, yogurt, lettuce, seafood, avocado, ginger, grilled meats, and basil.
