Mandarin orange segments

Mandarin segments are the natural portions into which this citrus fruit is divided when peeled. Each segment consists of a thin membrane that encloses juicy sections filled with sweet and slightly acidic pulp, ideal for adding freshness and a citrus touch to various recipes, from salads to desserts and savory dishes.

The mandarin is native to Southeast Asia, specifically from regions of China and Japan, and has spread throughout the world for its sweet flavor and easy peeling. In many Latin American cultures, the mandarin is highly valued for its aroma and versatility in the kitchen.

Properties: Mandarin segments are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making them a healthy ingredient that helps strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and provide natural freshness to preparations.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Depending on the region, mandarin segments may also be called mandarin segments or simply segments. The fruit itself may be called mandarina, tangerina (in some countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil), or clementina when referring to hybrid varieties.
