When you think of winter fruit, what comes to mind? In Japan, one of my favorites is in season now. It’s the mandarin orange! I came home last night and saw a bowl full of mandarin oranges sitting on the dining room table. They are really the perfect fruit. They are easy to peel, and they usually don’t have any seeds. Each orange has about 10 segments which are neither too big nor too small for your mouth. I know that many Japanese only eat the inside of each segment, but that’s too much work for me. I eat them as they are, after I peel the orange, of course! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
