Mandarin Oranges (Case)
$75.00
$50.00
The easiest peeling orange
Never Sprayed, Nor Gassed
25 lb. Case
Mandarins are usually eaten out of hand but can be processed for juice.
It’s best to eat mandarin oranges as soon as you can – no more than a week from bringing them home.
Refrigerate the fruit to slow spoilage and preserve flavor.
Seeds present
Color may not always indicate ripeness.
The fruit needs a good chill in the orchard to lose any green hue that may be lingering on the skin.
If the fruit isn’t subjected to a cold snap before harvest, it will still be sweet and juicy, even if the skin hasn’t completely converted to a bright orange color.
So don’t hesitate to grab a heavy, sweet smelling fruit even if it is a little green; it may not be the prettiest mandarin, but it may be the better choice.
US Citrus
After becoming the lead citrus pathologist in Texas, Dr. Skaria implemented the clean citrus program. This is the process is the cornerstone protection against disease for the Texas citrus industry.
In 1997, Dr. Skaria invented the micro-budding grafting technique. This all-natural process allows for drastically reduced land and resource use with quicker fruit production. Upon this backbone, he founds and leads US Citrus & US Citrus Nursery in 2012.
Under Dr. Skaria's leadership, US Citrus has established lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, and lime groves, creating the basis of the Craft Citrus Club citrus subscription box. His mission and passion is to get high-quality, special citrus fruits to the American consumer, all straight from our groves!
US Citrus only uses drip irrigation, reducing water use per tree by over ~90%, compared to flood irrigation techniques.
Because our micro-budded trees are smaller, we plant times higher density than conventional system, using drastically less land per fruit yield.
We plant grass in the middle of our rows to increase natural predators, decreasing pesticide use. Weed fabric is placed around trees for physical suppression of weeds, decreasing herbicide use.
We are experimenting with legumes as a cover crop and to naturally fix nitrogen back into the soil.
Since 2012, US Citrus has been establishing groves in the perfect sandy loam soil of Hargill, a tiny town in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The community has rewarded us with bountiful inspiration, strengthening our citrus culture.
