Mandarin Study: "Producers of cold and allergy pills may face competition from an unexpected source – the mandarin orchards of Placer County (California). A recent study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirms that Placer’s popular Owari Satsuma mandarins pack a big jolt of synephrine, a natural antihistamine that relieves cold and allergy symptoms. Scientists have known since the 1960s that citrus fruit, such as oranges, contain synephrine, but the health experts overlooked the mandarin."
Did You Know:
- Placer County has 65 registered Mandarin orange growers?
- Placer County has 150 producing acres of Mandarin orange trees?
- Placer County's Mandarin orange crop was 625 tons in 2007?
- Placer County's 2007 crop was valued at $1.2 million?
Mmmm...Mandarin oranges...a recipe contest...professional chef cooking demonstrations...live entertainment...unique arts & crafts vendors...activities for children...and fifteen local farmers selling their freshly harvested Mandarin oranges. Since my favorite citrus fruit happens to be Mandarin oranges, this is the type of event that I'm really looking forward to attending for the first time...hope to see you there! :)

Leilani, one of my favorite fruits..mandarin oranges...and this time of the year I make mandarin salads.
Mmmm, Rebecca...I love mandarin salads! I usually make mine with sesame chicken and slivered almonds, but I love ANY salad with mandarin oranges. :)
