The tangerine season is here. Discover five compelling reasons to enjoy tangerines more often—they're a powerhouse for health, young and old alike.
As summer ends and autumn begins, September kicks off peak season for pears, apples, and tangerines. Available from September to February (though year-round), they shine brightest in fall and winter.
With an 'r' in the month comes flu season and viruses—strengthen your immune system with tangerines' vitamins, minerals, and fiber for optimal defense.
Why these citrus stars? Here are five proven benefits.
Not the first association with citrus, but tangerines deliver key minerals like calcium, essential for building and maintaining strong bones and healthy teeth. Natural fruit acids boost absorption for maximum effect.
Your skin, the body's largest organ, relies on vitamin C—which tangerines provide in abundance—to produce collagen for smooth, firm texture. Beta-carotene supports cell regeneration. (Our bodies can't make vitamin C, so diet is key.)
Vital during cold and flu season, tangerines' vitamin C helps fend off sniffles. Just 3–4 daily cover about one-third of your needs.
