Mandarin oranges

Canned mandarin oranges can eliminate the need for a peel. This naturally sweet and tart fruit is packed with vitamins and minerals. However, it is preferable to get mandarin oranges canned in juice rather than syrup if you want to reduce your intake of added sugar.

6% of the Daily Value (DV) for folate, 12% of the DV for vitamin A, and 94% of the DV for vitamin C are all found in just 1 cup (249 grams) of mandarin oranges. Folate is necessary for pregnancy since low levels of this nutrient may interfere with fetal development. To stop this, a lot of foods are fortified with folate nowadays. Consuming foods high in vitamin A, such as mandarin oranges, may help avoid diseases like night blindness. Mandarin oranges in cans may also help prevent vitamin C deficiency, which is linked to a weakened immune system. Mandarin oranges in cans are delicious right out of the can, in baked goods, or as a decoration on salads, yogurt, or cottage cheese.
