FOWLER, CA - With mandarin growth stateside reaching its domestic peak, and the citrus’ availability projected to extend through January, Bee Sweet has many varieties moving through its packing facility daily.
“This year’s page crop has been great,” said Sales Representative Jason Sadoian in a recent press release. “The fruit eats well and its flavor and bright color really stands out amongst over varieties. Bee Sweet’s Page mandarins are grown in California’s Central Valley and are incredibly sweet. We hope everyone gets them while they are still in season.”
The Page variety of which Sadoian spoke is often seedless, and may be used on salads, as a solo snack, or juiced for the health aficionado. Regardless of which format it is consumed, the mandarin orange will pack a low calorie, high vitamin C punch, which is ideal for a family on-the-go.
As AndKnowUKnow recently reported, eating mandarin oranges is an effective way to improve the body’s natural defense system, as the vitamin C they contain is a healthy way to ward off disease and strengthen the immune system. In addition to vitamin C, mandarin oranges also contain fiber, magnesium, and iron–which, though not as sought after as vitamin C, are essential to a healthy diet.
