Tangerines: A Mix of Tart and Sweet



Tart, sweet and portable, these mouthwatering fruits make great pic-me-ups for breakfast, lunch, mid-afternoon snacks, or midnight snacks. A single delicious tangerine supplies 2 grams of fiber as well as 45 percent of the RDA of vitamin C.

Toss a few tangerines in your bag to snack on while you are on the go, bake wedges atop fish marinated in orange juice and soy sauce, or stir-fry sections with lean beef, water chestnuts and green pepper strips.

Another reason to load up on tangerines is that they contain powerful plant chemicals called flavonoids that have been shown to lower the risk of breast cancer.



Tangerines are at their peak of flavor from now until April. Pick up some today.
