Mandarins - Satsuma

About Our Satsuma Mandarins

Famed for its easy peel skin, no pips, and its sweet hint of honey - Satsuma mandarins are a regular daily fixture in Kiwi lunchboxes and are loved by kids and adults alike.

Just two of these snack-sized fruits provide 35% of your recommended daily allowance of vitamin C! Plus a good helping of vitamin A, iron, fibre and calcium - awesome for boosting our winter wellness reserves.

We reckon they’re best enjoyed as is, but they work well in a variety of dishes. Think mandarin quinoa kale bowls, mandarin chicken salad, mandarin ice cream, sticky mandarin date cake, citrus vinaigrettes… 

They originate in the former Japanese province of Satsuma.

Approximately 9 mandarins per kg

Interesting Facts

Satsumas mandarins are considered to be a symbol of abundance and good fortune in their home country of Japan.

Satsuma mandarins are also wildly popular in the US. So much so, that there are no less than three towns in three states named after the wee fruit. 

We have a natural mutation to thank for the creation of this juicy treat. Although grown in Japan, where they were known as Unshiu (meaning honey citrus), the tree that produced the first known Satsuma mandarin most likely originated in China. They would still be known as Unshiu today if someone hadn’t mislabeled the trees when exporting them to the US in the 1880s.
