Korean Mandarins
Sunfresh Farms brings you Winter Mandarins!
Mandarin oranges have been cultivated in Asia for over 3,000 years. In the past this delicious citrus fruit was reserved exclusively for the Emperor and the privileged upper class. Today mandarins are available in your local grocery store and come from China, Japan and Korea. The big difference between all three types of fruit is that Korean ‘winter' mandarin oranges are a tangier and sweeter alternative to the more common Chinese or Japanese mandarins. Sunfresh Farms brings you Korean mandarins because of the remote growing area that guarantees the unique sweetness and high quality of the fruit. This remote area, Jeju Island (located in South Korea), is the country's largest volcanic island and has been the main growing region in Korea for producing succulent mandarin oranges. Jeju Island's native "Hallasan" volcano lies dormant and offers the island the rich volcanic soil and unique minerals that provide the outstanding growing conditions for these mandarins. Sunfresh Farms Ltd. delivers delicious citrus fruit from one of the most beautiful Islands of South Korea to your local grocery store every winter from November through January. Ask your local produce manager if you would like to learn more about Korean mandarins.
