Satsuma is a tangerine variety of Japanese origin, known for being one of the first citrus fruits to ripen, available as early as September. It is distinguished by its thin, pale orange skin, which peels easily off the flesh, making it convenient to peel. The flesh of Satsuma is sweet and juicy, with a mild taste that perfectly balances sweetness and acidity. Another appreciated feature is the absence of seeds, making it especially welcome even to young children. Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, Satsuma is ideal for strengthening the immune system and maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. It is a versatile fruit, consumed mostly fresh, but also used to make juices, desserts and jams. Its light and refreshing flavor makes it a perfect choice for citrus lovers looking for a fruit to enjoy during the early fall months.
