Satsuma The Seedless Mandarin Orange
The Citrus Unshiu or Satsuma is an easy to peel, seedless citrus mutant from Japan and was introduced to the West. Formally, Satsuma is known in Japan as unshu mikan or simply mikan while in China, it is known as Wenzhou.
The fruit is sweet and as mentioned, usually seedless. Its size is smaller than an orange and about the same as that of other mandarin oranges or citrus reticulata.
One of the Satsuma’s unique features is its leathery, thin skin that is dotted with pronounced and large oil glands. The skin is attached lightly around the fruit, making it very easy to peel as compared to other citrus fruits. Its flesh is also particularly delicate and cannot tolerate careless handling.
温州みかんは、種なしseedlessであること、甘いsweetこと、そして、何より、皮が剥きやすいvery easy to peelことが特徴とされている。
当たり前ではあるが、この評価は国内のみならず、海外でも定着していることを再認識させられた。
