It often happens that after biting a mandarin is full of problematic seeds. However, there is a simple way that allows us to choose the perfect fruit. It turns out that the secret is in the skin. Therefore, before reaching for the sweet fruit, it is worth taking a closer look at its “cover” – it will reveal whether there are any small obstacles inside.
Although they are mainly treated as a festive delicacy, tangerines are characterized by a high content of vitamins, minerals and important elements that support the functioning of the body and have a positive effect on our well-being. In addition just two tangerines are enough to cover the body’s daily need for vitamin C.
However, our consumption is sometimes hindered by the small seeds that appear in the fruits in smaller or larger quantities. It turns out that there is an easy way to find out if our tangerine contains seeds. All you have to do is take a close look at her skin.
How to tell if a tangerine has seeds?
When choosing tangerines, it is worth paying attention to their appearance. Fresh fruit should have a firm and smooth skin, without traces of dryness or mold. If the skin is hard or extremely thin, it may mean that the fruit is too ripe or has been stored for too long.
The place after the mandarin stem is also worth paying attention to. If it has a white or cream shade, the fruit will stay fresh for a long time because it was harvested relatively recently. However, if the spot turns brown or slightly blue, it means that the fruit is no longer the freshest.
It turns out that the appearance of the fruit can also indicate the number of seeds. You can recognize mandarins without seeds by their slightly reddish color. A sign of a lack of seeds is also a thicker, slightly “fluffy” skin that separates perfectly from the pulp.
