Freshness Test:

Ideally, you should consider buying tangerines in season only which is generally from November to February.

Important:

Tangerines have a high sugar content in general than other citrus fruits. Those with sugar related problems will want to consult a doctor, preferably a naturopathic doctor, before using. Those that cannot tolerate oranges may find they can tolerate tangerines due to the lower acidity content.

Citrus fruits, when taken in excess, are known to leech calcium from the body. All citrus fruits add citric acid to the body and so it's a good idea to get some exercise after having a citrus fruit drink.

You should always remove the rind of grapefruits, oranges and tangerines. Remove the rind, but leave the white membrane as the white membrane contains bioflavanoids. The bioflavanoids help the body absorb and use Vitamin C.

The rind of oranges, grapefruits and tangerines must be removed as the rind is difficult for the human body to digest. The rind can subsequently cause rectal problems.

General:

Drink immediately after juicing to ensure you get all of the Vitamin C.
