Preparation Tips
Tangerines are best enjoyed fresh and are easy to peel by hand. Simply pull apart the segments and enjoy as a healthy snack. They can also be added to salads, desserts, or used in marinades and sauces. Store tangerines at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for 2-3 weeks. Choose tangerines that feel heavy for their size with firm, glossy skin. The best tangerines have a sweet fragrance and give slightly when gently squeezed.
