Bumpy Skin Mandarin

A Golden Nugget Mandarin has bumpy skin but is sweet and tastes delicious upon opening and eating!

My friend Jen brought me a bag of Golden Nugget mandarins

Kishu Mandarins are Petite

And sweet…..and seedless.

Here’s a Bon Appetit article about the fruit that Alejandra Borunda (The author) waits all year to eat. Kishu Mandarins. “The best piece of citrus I have ever eaten was a tiny, wrinkled thing the size of a quail egg. After I peeled away its loose skin, I found a prepossessing little fruit, perfect and rotund, its segments bulging with juice.”

Making Good Use of the Grapefruit Knife

The last of the Christmas gifts of fruit.

Starting the day off with refreshing citrus-  Ruby Red Grapefruit from Texas.

I don’t use it often, but dug out the old grapefruit knife to loosen the sections. The best part is squeezing all the juice into the spoon at the end.

Slurp!
