A Satsuma is a type of seedless citrus fruit, known for its sweet flavor and easy-to-peel skin. Originating from Japan, it is a member of the mandarin orange family and is typically small to medium in size. Satsumas are often enjoyed fresh, but they can also be used in salads, desserts, and various dishes due to their juicy segments.
The fruit is usually harvested in the fall and winter months, making it a popular seasonal treat. Satsumas are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, and are low in calories, making them a healthy snack option. They are also cultivated in various regions, including parts of the United States and Spain.
