Mandarins

Sweet, juicy, and easy to peel, mandarins are oblong citrus fruits with a flattened top and bottom—unlike rounder oranges. They offer a good dose of vitamin C, fiber, and copper. While not the richest source of copper, they contain more than most fruits, helping support red blood cell production and iron absorption. The fiber in a single mandarin supports digestion and gut health, potentially lowering the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Their vitamin C content also strengthens the immune system.
