Japanese Ehime Mikan

These sweet, low acidity and almost seedless Ehime Mikan tangerines are ideal for juicing or eating on their own. Mikan skin is loose and easy to peel, making it a great on-the-go snack. The word 'Ehime' is a mythologically name that means ‘lovely princess’ and in Japan. It is also known Aunshu Mikan, which translates as "Wezhou honey citrus" (which also refers to a city in China).

STORAGE

Mikans can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week if kept in a plastic bag or in their original packaging.
