In a few words

You can find full season tangerines from the beginning of autumn to the month of March. To choose the juicy pieces you must take into account their weight with respect to their size, and the best sign of quality is not so much the appearance of their peel as its smell, more intense the more mature the fruit is. Although it provides less vitamin C than other citrus fruits, it is an excellent source of this substance, which favours the formation of antibodies and stimulates anti-infective action.
