Instructions
Step 1
Mandarin is an extraordinarily healthy fruit in all respects. Everyone knows that citrus fruits are a storehouse of vitamin C. In addition, these orange fruits contain vitamin D, which is good for bones and skin, and vitamin K, which increases the elasticity of blood vessels. There are also enough B vitamins, useful for skin and hair. But you will definitely not find nitrates in these sunny fruits - they simply do not get along with citric acid.
Step 2
Choosing good tangerines is a snap. Different varieties of tangerines differ in taste. Small flattened fruits are the most sour. The large ones with thick skin are not too sweet, although they are very easy to peel. The juiciest and sweetest are clementines. This variety can be recognized by its rich color and small size. The juiciest tangerines are the ones that seem heavy. The crust should be thin but not wrinkled. The supplier country will also tell you something about the taste of tangerine. - Abkhaz tangerines - medium-sized fruits. The skin color ranges from yellow to light orange. - Moroccan - do not differ in large sizes. Tangerines are sweet and pitted. You can recognize them by their porous peel. -fruits brought from Turkey are also medium-sized, yellowish-green in color and with a smooth skin. Such fruits are slightly sour and contain a lot of seeds. But Turkish fruits are the cheapest. - Spanish mandarins are the largest and most expensive. They are sweet with a porous skin. There are few seeds in them.
Step 3
Storing tangerines is not particularly difficult at all. These fruits can be stored for quite a long time. Put the tangerines in the fruit and vegetable compartment of the refrigerator, they won't go bad for a month. Do not be afraid that tangerines will rot, on the contrary, the main thing is not to let them dry out. Store them at +6 degrees and high humidity. By the way, fruits with twigs are stored longer. You can increase the shelf life by rubbing the fruit with vegetable oil. But tangerines should not be stored in a plastic bag. They may suffocate. It is better to simply pour them into the vegetable compartment, or store them in a grid.
