Looking to give those everyday oranges and grapefruits a rest already? Now is the time to spruce up your citrus options while taking advantage of a great deal.
On Friday, December 2, the Clementine’s delicious citrus cousin, the Satsuma Mandarin, will take center stage at Whole Foods Market.
This one-day sale will feature peak-of-the-season Satsumas for a thrifty $4.99 per five-pound box and will kick off a month-long celebration of this seasonal delight with in-store demos, online videos, blog contests and giveaways, fresh recipes and more.
Perfectly ripened, Satsumas’ annual harvest begins in November and lasts just 6 to 8 weeks, so pack your cart full while you can!
For a fresh centerpiece idea, try using “stem and leaf” Satsumas to bring warmth to any dinner table setting. They also make the perfect host gift. Easy-to-peel and great for snacking on the go, they are perfect for active kids and families and can be a star in minutes in many dishes. For example, Satsuma’s are a great substitute for tomatoes in winter salads. The sweetness of Satsuma’s pair nicely with nutty greens like arugula or peppery greens like watercress. You can also substitute Satsuma’s in your grilled fish tacos for a refreshing departure from tomato based salsas. Or, squeeze its tangy juice into your favorite weekend cocktail for an unexpected and flavorful kick.
