Daily Favorite: Satsuma

Satsuma is a delicate and sweet citrus fruit of Asian origin. Often mistaken for mandarin oranges due to their size and color, these delectable treats can be a fantastic surprise to an unknowing snacker.

Because its thin skin is loose and essentially perforated with oil glads, a satsuma is pleasantly easy to peel. The fruit will section like any other citrus; however, when bitten into, a satsuma will produce a refreshingly sweet burst that is most often free of seeds!

Words of Wisdom: Satsumas are fragile and will bruise if handled carelessly. Bruises may not appear on the skin and the damage may go undiscovered until mealtime. Handle with care!
