Description
Kara mandarin looks like Satsuma mandarin and has the longest growing period. Many of them have a slightly uneven surface, which tends to be unattractive, but it has an unexpectedly rich fragrance and excellent balance of sweetness over acidity due to Kanjuku (完熟), which fruits are harvested after ripened as compared to early-harvested ones, giving it a dimensional taste.
It is fully seedless and has a high water content which makes it very juicy, with also easy-to-peel skin.Â
