Description

Mandarin orange segments are the natural sections obtained by peeling this citrus fruit, characterized by its sweet and slightly acidic flavor. The mandarin orange is native to Southeast Asia and has been cultivated for centuries, being very popular in many regions of the world for its easy peeling and juicy content.

These segments are ideal for use in a wide variety of recipes, from fresh salads to desserts, providing a citrusy and fresh touch that enhances the flavor of dishes. Their soft texture and juicy content allow them to integrate well in both raw and cooked preparations.

Properties: Mandarin orange segments are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, which helps strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and provide a pleasant flavor without adding many calories. Furthermore, they contain flavonoids that help reduce inflammation and protect cardiovascular health.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different countries, mandarin orange segments are also known as "gajos de tangerina" or simply "gajos de naranja mandarín", depending on the variety and region.
