A satsuma is a type of seedless citrus fruit, known for its sweet flavor and easy-to-peel skin. It is a variety of mandarin orange and is typically small to medium in size. Satsumas are often enjoyed fresh as a snack or used in salads and desserts. They are particularly popular in the fall and winter months. Originating from Japan, satsumas are now grown in various regions, including the southern United States. They thrive in warm climates and are usually harvested from late fall to early winter. Satsumas are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, making them a healthy addition to any diet.
