Tangerines, despite the sellers' promises, turn out to be sour. Without experience in choosing citrus fruits, you can easily regret the purchase.
But tangerines that seem quite nice at first glance can turn out to be sour.
If you don't like sour fruits, then use this simple tip.
Leaving them in the hope that they will lie around and become sweeter is definitely not necessary. Rather, they will dry out and become completely tasteless.
Microwave Trick
Unripe or simply sour tangerines can be made sweet.
To do this, simply place the fruit in the microwave and turn it on for just 30 seconds.
First, you need to make cuts on the peel - just in case, so that the tangerines do not accidentally burst when heated.
When heated, the acid will become noticeably less, but there is one caveat.
Everyone knows that when heated, the amount of useful substances in vegetables and fruits becomes noticeably less.
Therefore, you can use sour fruits to make marinades or sauces for meat or fish, and in extreme cases, make homemade lemonade.
