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.
