The winter holiday season is about to begin.

It's time to remember the fruits that are considered "New Year's".

We are talking about tangerines. It is hard to imagine a festive table without a vase of these small citrus fruits.

Unfortunately, not all tangerines are sweet.

Some fruits disappoint gourmets with sourness or lack of any bright taste.

However, it is quite easy to reject such fruits.

It is enough to perform one test. This can be done right in the store (if, of course, there is an opportunity to choose products yourself).

Two-second test to determine the sweetness of a tangerine

It is enough to just press lightly on the fruit.

If the tangerine “demonstrates” elasticity and a quick return to its previous shape, then you can safely take it: such a fruit will be sweet.

But if the fruit turns out to be very hard or, on the contrary, too soft, then you shouldn’t put it in the basket.

Now you know how to choose the most delicious tangerines. The New Year will definitely not be spoiled!
