Where Do The Best Tangerines Come From?

When it comes to tangerines, I’ve personally found that the grove fresh Juicy Crunch Tangerines from Noble Citrus top the charts!

So what’s so special about Noble Juicy Crunch tangerines? Well… not only are they ridiculously juicy, but they are truly the sweetest tangerine I’ve ever tasted! Trust me… you’ll be seeing the light at the end of the Winter tunnel with every crunchy, juicy bite! In technical terms… Noble Juicy Crunch has the highest Brix (natural sugar solids measure) of any full-size tangerine: 17 Brix vs. 10 – 12 in most other high end tangerines.

I also love that they come from a family farm started back in 1926 in sunny Florida. After a four decade breeding program, 1,600 seedling grafts, waiting five more years for each tree to mature and become a full fruit-bearing tree, the Noble Juicy Crunch tangerine was born and has become the crown jewel of the farm.

It took patience and a lot of time to develop these easy-to-peel tangerines bursting with flavor. When you take your first bite you’ll know why they were so worth the wait!

Noble Citrus is all about old fashioned quality, and generation after generation has carried on their delicious traditions while also developing incredible new varieties, so you know they’re going to be good!

    This sounds yummy! I suppose with all the health fruits, it almost negates the unhealthy marshmallows! 🙂 Nectarines are delicious. We will have to look for Nobel Juicy Crunch!
