Tangerine: Small in size, giant in benefits.

With its unmistakable aroma, sweet taste, and vibrant freshness, the tangerine is much more than a tasty fruit—it's a true nutritional treasure that deserves a special place in your diet.

In Portugal, tangerines are a regular feature on tables during autumn and winter, a symbol of freshness, simplicity, and health—everything we seek in a balanced diet. Carefully harvested, it's a fruit that evokes memories, comforts, and nourishes, all at the same time.

But what makes this fruit so special?

1. Rich in Vitamin C

Tangerines are an excellent source of vitamin C, essential for strengthening the immune system, fighting off colds and flu, and maintaining healthy, radiant skin. A single tangerine can provide more than 30% of the recommended daily intake of this vitamin.

2. An ally of digestion

Thanks to its natural fiber content, especially when consumed with the white pith surrounding the buds, tangerines help regulate bowel movements and contribute to more efficient digestion.

3. Powerful antioxidants

Tangerines contain flavonoids and other antioxidants that help fight free radicals, protecting cells from premature aging and promoting cardiovascular health.
