Title: Cuties
Post by: Princess Cheese on December 19, 2012, 08:33:08 AM
Does anyone here eat these?  They're like small oranges except the website told me NOT to call them that and to call them mandarins. What is a mandarin?  Is it related to peanuts/tree it's at all?!

my kids eat them all the time.  They are a mandarin orange, a smaller orange.  Very sweet.

No relation at all to peanuts or tree nuts.  It's a fruit.

That's what I thought :). Thank you!  I remember eating the canned ones as a kid but they're all made in china now.. At least these are from California!  :)

We buy lots of cuties every year. Last year we got a lot of bad ones but they said it was due to a frost or some other bad crop problem.

Other brands of mandarins are not grown in the US but we haven't had problems with them either.
