Citrus Reticulata - Imperial Mandarins now in season!

The autumn chills are slowly coming in and what a good time to indulge in more vitamin C enriched foods to beat the cold. My girls love Imperial Mandarins, that a 3-kilo bought from a trip to the supermarket never lasts long in our house. The most is a day. They love this member of the citrus family because with its thick-skin, they can easily peel this on their own. Plus, the sweet and juicy membranes are enough to satisfy their usual hunger without ruining their appetite for the main meal. Maybe its time to try and plant these for future harvest.
