Satsuma Mandarins herald in the citrus season. Satsumas are a perfect snack size that you can eat anywhere without the difficult peeling and complication that comes with eating a Valencia or Navel Orange. Fun fact: they’re also rich in synephrine, which is a natural decongestant. An excellent choice for the winter blues!
