In winter, tangerines become especially popular.
The aroma of these citrus fruits is perceived by many people as New Year's.
November is coming to an end. There is very little time left before the start of the "tangerine" period.
Therefore, now is the time to remember the rules for eating delicious orange fruits.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of people make a very serious mistake. They forget to do one important thing.
What to do before eating tangerines
Before you can enjoy the delicious taste of citrus fruits, you need to peel them. That's understandable.
But first, these fruits need to be… washed. Yes, don’t be surprised! Not only apples and pears need such “processing”, but also tangerines.
"But they are already protected by a crust! Why wash them?" - many gourmets will probably be surprised.
Be aware: by removing dirty peel, you are transferring dangerous components to the pulp that you plan to eat with your own hands. Do not forget that tangerines are often sprayed. And their surface can become dirty during transportation and sale.
Consuming pulp that has been contaminated with harmful compounds and microorganisms is a very dangerous action.
To protect yourself, remember to wash tangerines before eating: use hot water.
For reference
Mandarin is the fruit of the mandarin tree (or shrub).
