This citrus fruit is similar to the orange. Mandarin oranges are round but a bit flattened at top and bottom. The rind transforms from green to orange and yellow, and is easy to peel off. Mandarins can be easily taken apart into smaller pieces, and these segments can be added to a fruit salad or eaten by hand.
The fruit itself is juicy and sweet, ideal for a fruit juice. In addition to the regular citrus characteristics (high levels of vitamin C and minerals), mandarins are also a good source for vitamin A.
Different mandarin varieties are present in Nicaragua. The tree is medium-sized and they have spines during their early stage.
