Chun Jian Orange (Pa Pa Gan) 春见粑粑柑

Chun Jian Orange, also known as Pa Pa Gan, is a premium citrus variety developed from selected Japanese orange cultivars and later introduced to China.

Highly prized for its ease of enjoyment, Chun Jian Orange features a loose, easy-peel skin that separates cleanly from the flesh. The segments come apart effortlessly, allowing you to enjoy the fruit without a knife or mess. Just smooth, juicy sweetness in every bite.

Each papa gan is carefully selected and typically presented with its stem and leaf intact, a visible mark of freshness and quality. This attention to detail results in an orange that is as visually appealing as it is delicious, making it ideal for gifting, festive occasions, or everyday enjoyment.

In terms of size and appearance, Chun Jian Orange resembles a traditional orange, while delivering the best qualities of mandarins and tangerines. This unique balance has earned it recognition as a true hybrid citrus.

When compared to Ponkan oranges, Chun Jian shares similar growing characteristics and harvest timing but stands out with its larger, seedless fruit, smoother skin, and more vibrant colour. Its thinner rind, minimal residue, and naturally sweet flavour make it a preferred choice among citrus enthusiasts. Industry experts often regard Chun Jian Orange as a must-try variety, noting that missing it would be a genuine regret.

STORAGE

Ponkans should be kept in the refrigerator if you don't consume them all within 1-2 weeks. Which is nearly impossible because they are so delicious!
