Fresh Ponkan Fruit
Discover Ponkan Mandarins, also known as the Honey Mandarin! These tasty fruits have been grown in Japan since the 16th century, showcasing centuries of citrus cultivation,
Ponkan are a larger variety of mandarin that have a diameter of 7 to 8 centimeters. These mandarins have a round shape with a flattened base and a distinctive short, protruding, and furrowed neck.
The semi-thick rind, ranging from pale to bright orange, features a smooth to pebbled, bumpy surface with tiny yet prominent oil glands. What sets Ponkan Mandarins apart is their loosely attached rind, sometimes developing a puffy nature, making them incredibly easy to peel by hand.
Beneath the surface is little to no white pith enveloping juicy orange flesh, divided into 9 to 12 segments by thin white membranes. The flesh itself is seedless or contains a few ivory seeds, with a succulent consistency and a hollow centre.
Ponkan mandarins can be peeled and eaten in the same way as other mandarins, or used as a fresh addition to ceviche or stir-fries, or chopped and added to salsas and relishes. The juice and zest can be used to make marmalades and other preserves, or the rind can be dried and candied as a sweet treat.
Whole, unpeeled Ponkan mandarins can be kept at room temperature for a few days or 1 to 2 weeks when stored in the fridge.
