Quantity/Pack: 3,15 or 25 PoundsSeasonality: Mar - MayOrigin: USA Ojai Pixie Tangerines are a true California gem, grown by a co-op of about 60 family farms in the sunny Ojai Valley. The valley’s unique East-West orientation means the sun shines on these tangerines all day long, giving them their signature sweetness—what we like to call “tasting like sunshine.” In season from March to May, these late-season mandarins are hands down the sweetest of the season. Thanks to a perfect mix of Kincy, King, and Dancy mandarins, Ojai Pixies have the ideal balance of tangy brightness, juicy sweetness, and smooth, fragrant citrus flavor. The valley’s warm days and cool nights create the perfect conditions for these mandarins to soak up all that sweetness. They're seedless, easy to peel, and absolutely delicious! This year, Southern California experienced a warmer winter, so some fruit kept a bit of its green hue. The good news: The color doesn’t affect the flavor at all. Inside, your Pixies are still the same sweet, seedless, easy-peel citrus that makes them a Melissa’s favorite every spring. But hurry—Ojai Pixies are only around for a short time! Store at cool room temperatures for up to one week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks. Try them while you can and see what all the buzz is about! The following prohibit the shipment of any citrus into their state: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and Hawaii. Reviewed by Melissa's Nutritionist.
