DELIVERING QUALITY ORGANIC PRODUCE SINCE 1988

Earl’s Organic Produce carries a full line of organic fruits and vegetables in our 96,000 square foot warehouse in San Francisco.

 

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!
