Satsuma

• Enjoy satsumas fresh as a healthy and portable snack. Their easy-to-peel skin and sweet, juicy segments make them ideal for lunchboxes or a quick burst of energy. - Add satsuma segments to salads for a touch of sweetness and vibrant color. They pair well with leafy greens, nuts, and cheeses, offering a refreshing contrast of flavors and textures. - Use satsuma juice and zest in marinades for chicken, fish, or pork. The citrusy acidity tenderizes the meat and infuses it with a bright, zesty flavor. - Incorporate satsuma segments into baked goods like muffins, cakes, or breads. The sweet and tangy flavor complements other ingredients and adds moisture to the recipe. - Make satsuma marmalade or jam for a homemade treat. The naturally high pectin content of satsumas helps to create a thick and flavorful preserve that is perfect for spreading on toast or scones. - Create refreshing satsuma-infused beverages, such as sparkling water, lemonade, or cocktails.

Satsumas are best stored at room temperature if you plan to eat them within a few days. For longer storage, refrigerate them in the crisper drawer. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from drying out. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or near ethylene-producing fruits like bananas and apples, as this can accelerate ripening and spoilage.
