Mandarins in juice

Tangerines in juice are slices or segments of tangerine preserved submerged in their own juice or in a light syrup. This ingredient combines the freshness and the characteristic sweet and tangy flavor of tangerines with the convenience of being ready to use, making it ideal for dessert recipes, salads, sauces, and beverages.

The tangerine is native to Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in temperate and warm climate regions, especially in countries like Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile, where its production is significant.

Properties: Tangerines are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, which helps strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. When preserved in juice, they retain many of these benefits, although their caloric content may be slightly higher if preserved in syrup.

In different regions of Latin America, tangerines in juice may be found under synonyms such as tangerines in syrup, tangerine segments in juice, or simply canned tangerines.

This ingredient is very versatile and adds a citrusy and sweet touch to various culinary preparations, making it easy to incorporate without the need to peel or juice fresh fruit.
