Fruit – Citrus Mandarin

Day 7 – Mandarin

Bought some mandarins last week and just got around to eating them. These ones here are Clementine which indicate that the end of the mandarin season is coming as it is after all a winter fruit. Long gone are the ones which I like better, can't remember the name atm…but you know the ones where the skin does not cling to the flesh itself.

I remember I had a love for mandarin when I was younger and I was never allowed to eat too much of it. According to my grandmother if you eat too much of it, you end up getting a blood nose, dry throat and generally are imbalanced. Today, I think there is some credit in that statement. I guess everyone has one of those tales in their family.

Now it is time to say bye bye to the late season winter fruits… but here comes SUMMER! :D
