Satsumas are a type of seedless citrus fruit, closely related to mandarins. They are known for their sweet flavor, easy-to-peel skin, and juicy segments. Satsumas are typically small to medium-sized and have a bright orange color. They are often enjoyed fresh as a snack or used in salads and desserts.
Originating from Japan, satsumas are now grown in various regions, including the southern United States and parts of Spain. They thrive in warm climates and are usually harvested in late fall to early winter. Satsumas are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C, making them a healthy addition to any diet.
