It is close to Chinese New Year. I was in Giant over the weekend. The fruit section was packed like sardines. Cartons and cartons of fruits were grabbed so quickly as if they were free. Is it spring time in China during Chinese New Year? I love oranges and mandarin oranges. There are so many variety or mandarins and related citrus 
available in the market. Teochew mandarins, Lukans, Pakistan mandarins, Satsumas(mikan - Japan), Kumquats, the small Emperor mandarins.
I bought about 2 and half kilos of the mini Emperor Mandarins because they were seedless and was sooo juicy and sweet. The skin was also thin and easy to peel. It was cheap at $1.70 per kilo.
Do you know which country is the top producer for Mandarin Oranges? The top producer is, China, followed by Spain, Brazil, Japan, Iran, Turkey, Thailand, Egypt, Argentina and Pakistan holding the 10th spot.
Which is your favourite type of Mandarin oranges?
