🍽️ Sihui Sugar Tangerine

Thin-skinned sweet tangerines from Sihui.

Sihui Sugar Tangerine is a famous citrus variety from Sihui in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, prized for its paper-thin skin, crisp tender flesh, abundant juice and high sweetness. The small flattened fruits ripen to a bright orange-red, and the peel peels off in one easy piece. Inside, the juicy sacs melt almost without fiber, balancing sweetness with a light refreshing aroma; it is named for its sugary, candy-like sweetness. Sihui lies along the Sui River under a mild humid climate with sandy soil well suited to citrus. The harvest peaks in winter, when locals buy them by the basket to eat fresh, juice or preserve as candied fruit; they are a favorite seasonal treat for holiday tables and visiting guests.
