The first box of Christmas oranges were bought today. The offering was Chinese Mandarin Oranges. They are exactly like the famous oranges that we use to get from Japan in the Christmas season. Absolutely perfect. Price $4.99 per box.
The last several years (10 or more) the Japanese oranges were not available in my area and the market only offered a very inferior type from various places. The oranges were hard to peel, had seeds, and were sour. I quit buying them.
