Step aside little cuties…say hello to Tango. The cute little slices are everywhere these days – in fruit cups in the grocery store, in salads in restaurants, in kid’s meals in the drive-through. Parentage/origins: Tango is the result of a mutation induced by irradiating budwood of W. The sweet, juicy fruit starts maturing in January and will hold onto the tree until April or May. It’s totally seedless with easy-to-peel fruit that averages about 2.5″ in diameter. ‘Tango’ is a delicious new mandarin with superior fruit quality and flavor. This means that unlike the brands of mandarins found in grocery stores, we do not coat our fruit with a plant-based wax to keep them shiny and looking fresh.Ĭitrus ‘Tango’ Mandarin (Citrus reticulata) We hand-pick our mandarins at the peak of ripeness and ship them immediately. We are proud to say that since 2006, S & J Mandarin Grove has been fully certified with California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), and that during mandarin season (late November through early February), we have a booth at the Sunday Sacramento Certified Farmers’ Market. We use all natural products in accordance with the requirements of the National Organic Program (NOP) and the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). S & J Mandarin Grove does not apply any synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. Focused on the use of renewable resources and conservation of soil and water, organic farmers enhance and sustain the environment for future generations.

Before a product can be labeled “organic,” a CCOF accredited certifier inspects the farm to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet CCOF organic standards.Ĭertified organic produce, like our organic mandarin oranges, is grown on soil that has been free of prohibited substances for three years prior to harvest to ensure that the crops will not be contaminated. Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
There are numerous health benefits to eating mandarin oranges, including the fact that S & J organic mandarins have high doses of Vitamin C and synephrine - a natural decongestant that helps relieve cold and allergy symptoms. Feeding your family organic food reduces your risk of exposure to pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones, and promotes the development of long-lasting, good eating habits. Organic food is better for your family’s health and the planet. Our primary crop of Owari Satsuma mandarins are shipped throughout the United States, with our other varieties available by special request. We are a small family-owned mandarin orchard that grows organic Owari Satsuma mandarins, Okitsu Wase Satsuma mandarins, Pixies, Tangos, and Clementine mandarin oranges in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
