How else to tell in the store that tangerines have no seeds: a simple secret
New Year is coming soon. And that means joy, fun and, of course, festive tables.
One of the essential attributes of the latter, as has long been the case, are tangerines.
Many people love them, but the problem is that we often buy a product that contains seeds, which not everyone likes.
How to recognize an “ambush” when choosing citrus fruits?
First of all, we pay attention to the variety (not the country of origin), which determines the presence or absence of seeds.
Therefore, for those who do not like these small “killers of pleasure” from tangerines, we avoid tangerines, their hybrids, the “Murcott” variety and its hybrid, as well as “Mineola”.
All this is full of bones. How to identify them?
By peel: tangerines and Murcotta have a rich, bright orange peel, while Mineola has a red-orange tint (thin and dense).
The ideal way to identify seedless tangerines at the market is to ask the seller to let you try one citrus fruit.
It is desirable that it be taken out of one basket in front of you, or that you do it yourself.
For reference
Mandarin is the fruit of the mandarin tree (or shrub).
