5 ways to use mandarin oranges

Mandarin oranges, those sweet easy-to-peel citrus fruit packed with vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, are an incredibly nutritious and versatile ingredient. They can be used in salads, sauces, baked goods, and savory dishes like stir-fries or grain bowls. Both canned and fresh mandarins are acceptable cooking options—while fresh offers peak flavor and texture, canned varieties (especially those packed in 100% juice or water) provide convenience and similar nutritional value. Check out these 5 ways to use mandarin oranges.
