Satsuma

Satsuma is a type of citrus fruit that is small, seedless, and easy to peel, making it popular for snacking. Originating from Japan, it’s a variety of mandarins known for its sweet flavor and smooth, thin skin. Satsumas are typically in season during late fall and winter, and they are rich in vitamin C, supporting immune health. Their juicy interior makes them a convenient, refreshing fruit choice, often enjoyed fresh or used in desserts. The name "Satsuma" also refers to the region in Japan where the fruit was first cultivated, linking the fruit to its cultural roots.
