Satsuma

Friday 17 August 2012

Citrus unshiu is a seedless and easy-peeling citrus species, also known as cold hardy mandarin, satsuma mandarin, satsuma orange, Christmas orange,[citation needed] and tangerine. It is probably of Japanese origin and introduced elsewhere. In Japan, it is known as mikan or formally unshu mikan. In China, it is known as Wenzhou migan, the Japanese name is a result of the local reading of the same characters used in the Chinese. In both languages, the name meaning "Honey Citrus of Wenzhou", Wenzhou being a city in Zhejiang province, China. It is also often known as "Seedless mandarin"  One of the English names for the fruit, "satsuma", is derived from the former Satsuma Province in Japan, from which these fruits were first exported to the West.
