Easily-peeled Mandarin oranges are ideal for eating out-of-hand. The tree is usually thorny, with slender twigs. The fruit is oblate, the tender peel bright-orange or red-orange when ripe, loose, separating easily from the segments. The segments are utilized in fruit salads, gelatins, puddings, or on cakes. Very small types are employed commercially in flavoring hard candy, gelatins, ice cream, chewing gum, and bakery goods. Mandarin essential oil paste is a standard flavoring for carbonated beverages. Tangerine oil is not suitable for flavoring purposes. Mandarin oranges are much more cold-hardy than the sweet orange, and the tree is more tolerant of drought. The fruits are tender and readily damaged by cold and do not stand shipping well. |
