Satsumas is an alternative term for satsuma mandarins, the small, nearly seedless, easy-peel citrus fruits of the mandarin family. Popular fresh and as canned mandarin segments, they are prized for sweet flavour and convenient eating. Like other citrus, their quality depends on harvest maturity and post-harvest handling, and they store best under cool, humid conditions that prevent drying of the thin peel. They exemplify how careful breeding and handling create a convenient, appealing fruit. Cool, humid storage keeps them fresh after harvest.
