![]() ![]() Get out of my face with your Sweeties® and your Cuties®.Ĭuties® are the mass-market paperbacks of citrus fruits, and by the way they are actually clementines. They’re a perfect winter treat at any time of day and they’re so small and fun-size you can eat two or three of them. ![]() They don’t have much of that white pith stuff, also known known as mesocarp or albedo. Their skins are loose and almost leathery looking and they are insanely easy to peel, almost like they come pre-peeled from the inside. They’re sweet like honey, with just the tiniest bit of acid, and the flesh of the fruit itself-those pulp things are called JUICE VESICLES-is incredibly tender. Satsumas are mandarins, but they are not to be confused with clementines, oranges, or even tangerines (more on that later). They come into season in November, hit the grocery shelves just after Thanksgiving and they are the best citrus by about a mile and a half. My family moved around a lot, but one constant at Christmastime at my parents’ house is Satsuma mandarins-in a fruit bowl in the kitchen, or in the toe of my stocking.
