We call tangerines the "little sisters of oranges". They are smaller than them, but also much sweeter. Their taste and smell are inseparably associated with Christmas. Tangerines contain a lot of vitamin C - just like other citrus fruits. This vitamin has a positive effect on the immune system and slows down the aging process. It is also worth paying attention to the content of nobiletin. It is a flavonoid that fights obesity and prevents diabetes and atherosclerosis. The high content of vitamin A protects against eye diseases. In turn, calcium has a beneficial effect on the skeletal system and the high content of potassium improves thought processes - it is thanks to it that our brain and muscles function properly.
Tangerine is a low-calorie fruit with a low glycemic index, so you can reach for it without remorse. It can be used to produce preserves that will serve us later throughout the year.
