I thought I'd start a new section of my blog, eloquently titled, "What the F*ck is That?"
In this section, I'll be eating a fruit or vegetable I see in the store that I have never seen or eaten before at all. This week at Safeway, I was drawn to this orange that looks like a little squash because of its ridges and dimples, the Mandarin Gold Nugget.
Its PLU is #4055 for those on the lookout, the gold nugget was made by the University of California Riverside and is seedless.
If you're a nerd, like me, and want to know all about the fruit, you can read about it here.
This is the easiest to peel orange of all time! It probably took me 10 seconds to do the whole thing.
The flavor is bright in the beginning, the same as a navel orange, but then it doesn't have that acidic, hyper-sweet finish. If you don't eat orange because of acid reflux or blood sugar issues, I think this fruit is definitely worth it! The pith was a little rough, so if you prefer smoother cased citrus, like clementines, you likely won't enjoy the texture of this orange. This also isn't the juiciest orange I've ever had, but it's a good mix of moist but not messy.
Essentially, this might be the perfect eat-at-your-desk orange. Not messy, easy to peel and still tasty.
