When I was in my local organic market the other day, a handful of unconventionally-looking oranges were sitting in a back shelf.
I had never seen anything that look like these and then asked the guy working there a question.
“Do you these come like this?”
“Yes,” he said.
As it turns out, these are organic gold nugget mandarins (or tangerines).
The few key attributes of the organic gold nugget mandarin are:
- It has a rich, sweet taste.
- It is seedless.
- It is very easy to peel.
- It is bigger in size than a traditional tangerine.
Many people on the West Coast are probably very familiar with the gold nugget mandarin but this was something new to me. If you see it your local market, give it a try and let me know what you think.
I love them, Max
and we are selling them in my local store.
All the best,

Hi Stephanie,
Are they popular out there?
Live well,

Hello Max,
Very popular. We sold out in three days and I don’t think we will be able
to get another shipment per our produce team.
All the best,

Hi Stephanie,
I am not surprised it sold out so quickly. They are fantastic!! Thanks for the update.
Live well,

Hi Guys-
We are growers of Gold Nugget Mandarins in California. We will start harvesting in late March of next year. Let us know if you would like more shipped to your area. They always sell out really fast. They are by far one of the very best tasting pieces of citrus on the market today.
Enjoy,
Mike
Thanks Mike.
I found these last year at our local Krogers. They were definitely the best citrus I have ever had, even better than my fav Texas oranges! I have not been able to find them this year, but after reading these posts, maybe it’s still a little early.
Hi Cristi,
I loved them myself as well. You’ll have to speak with your local produce department to find out if that is indeed the case.
Live well,
Max
