Mandarin

Our customers use mandarin oranges because of their natural sweetness, mild flavor, and strong consumer appeal across a wide range of products. Mandarins are easy to process into segments, juices, and concentrates, making them popular in canned fruits, beverages, desserts, and snacks. Their sweet, less acidic taste compared to other citrus fruits allows them to enhance flavor without being overly tart, which is especially appealing in products for children and general consumers. Mandarins are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting health and immunity-related marketing claims. Additionally, their bright orange color improves visual appeal, and their availability in shelf-stable forms makes them practical for large-scale production and consistent product formulation.

Brothers International is proud to offer various fruit juices and concentrates as USDA Organic certified.

Nature’s Perfectly Portioned Candy

Mandarins are a group of small citrus fruits that belong to the same family as oranges. They are typically round to slightly flattened in shape, with a thin, easy-to-peel skin that ranges in color from bright orange to deep orange-red. Mandarins are believed to have originated in Southeast Asia and have been cultivated for centuries. They grow on small evergreen trees and thrive in warm, subtropical climates. The fruit is made up of easily separable segments and may contain seeds depending on the variety. Mandarins are usually harvested in the cooler months and are widely grown in many parts of the world today.
