Gold Nugget Tangerines

As you might already know, I am always all about trying new (to me) produce, so when I came across these Gold Nugget Tangerines at the market yesterday, I picked up a couple to see what they were about.

Turns out they're a cross between two tangerine varieties - Wilking and Kincy - and are named for the nugget texture of the bumpy rind.

As you can see, the pulp is large as tangerines go, and the fruit is sweet and juicy, tasting of the best Navel Orange you've ever had, but with the peelability and slightly less dense texture of a loose rind tangerine. Neat and delicious eating, unlike, say, Honey Tangerines, which are messy and delicious.

Like them. A lot. Will have to buy more for the big Monsters this weekend.
