Louisiana Lagniappe

Certified Louisiana Tree Ripened Louisiana Satsuma Mandarins

The fruit of the Satsuma mandarin is sweet and usually seedless.  It is smaller than the orange with unique color stages as it ripens common to mandarins.  The first signs of ripening are a slight yellow blush on the green skin.  They turn completely yellow, before turning bright orange at full maturity..  The Satsuma has a distinctive thick skin which is loosely attached to the fruit.  They are very easy to peel.

Unlike most oranges, the fruit is often ripe before the skin turns fully yellow.  A light green or slight orange tint may be the only indication they are ready to harvest.
