In the final month of the year, it’s worth remembering one interesting life hack related to tangerines.

It is no secret that the growth in popularity of these citrus fruits occurs during the winter holidays.

And this phenomenon is explained very simply: tangerines are considered a New Year's fruit.

Unfortunately, gourmets often come across fruits that are too sour.

What to do if you bought tangerines that have almost no sweetness?

It turns out that such fruits can be “corrected” in half a minute, emphasizes the expert of the online publication “Belnovosti” in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.

How to quickly turn sour tangerines into sweet ones

Just microwave these fruits for 30 seconds.

A short microwave heating will help to initiate important chemical processes in the tangerine juice.

The result will be the complete elimination of sourness from the fruit: the fruit will become sweeter than sugar.

Important point: you need to eat tangerines heated in the microwave immediately after they cool down.

Never return heat-treated citrus fruits to the refrigerator or leave them on the table: such fruits will definitely not be stored for long!
