How to Make Sour Tangerines Sweet in 30 Seconds: A Secret Method
Sometimes it happens that tangerines turn out to be sour and tasteless. How to fix this situation and make tangerines sweet and juicy?
There is one simple and quick way that will help you enjoy tangerines without bitterness and sourness. All you need is a microwave and 30 seconds of free time.
Here's what needs to be done.
• Select tangerines without damage or rot, but not too hard and not too soft.
• Wash the tangerines under warm water and dry them with a paper towel.
• Place the tangerines in the microwave on a plate or saucer. There is no need to cut or peel the tangerines.
• Microwave on full power for 30 seconds. If you have more than one tangerine, increase the time by 10 seconds for each additional fruit.
• Remove the tangerines from the microwave and let them cool slightly. Carefully cut or peel the tangerines and enjoy their sweet and juicy taste.
Why does it work?
The microwave heats the fruit from the inside, breaking down the cell walls and releasing sugars.
Thus, the acidity of tangerines decreases and the sweetness increases. In addition, the microwave makes tangerines more juicy and aromatic.
But do not overheat the tangerines, otherwise they may burst or dry out. Also, do not use this method for frozen or overripe tangerines.
