Mandarin orange juice

Tangerine juice is the fresh and aromatic liquid extracted from the tangerine, a small, sweet citrus fruit known for its refreshing and slightly acidic flavor. This juice is highly valued in cooking for its ability to add a citrusy and juicy touch to a wide variety of dishes, from salads and sauces to desserts and beverages.

The tangerine is native to Southeast Asia, although today it is widely cultivated in temperate and subtropical regions around the world, especially in countries like Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. Its juice stands out for its intense sweet flavor and characteristic fragrance.

Among the properties of tangerine juice are its high content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and soluble fiber, which helps strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and provide a refreshing and revitalizing effect. Furthermore, it is low in calories and adds a natural touch of sweetness without the need for added sugars.

In different Latin American countries, tangerine juice is also known as zumo de mandarina (more common in Spain), suco de tangerina (Brazil), or simply clementine juice when this specific variety of tangerine is used.

It is an ideal ingredient to incorporate into recipes that seek a balance between natural sweetness and acidity, perfect for marinades, dressings, cocktails, and fresh desserts.
