Excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of fiber and folate.
What to Look For:

Easy Storage and Preparation:
They will keep at room temperature for several days and a week or more if refrigerated.
Best Uses:
Loose skin allows tangerines to be peeled easily. Their tart flesh adds flavor to fruit or green salads but watch out for seeds. Good with poultry.
